Metabolismes of methylmercury sulfate and methylmercury iodide in animals

Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Hygiene), 1967
Cats fed (CH3Hg)2SO4 developed the same findings as spontaneously affected cats fed the poisonous seafood from Minamata Bay. The organomercury compound in raw organs such as the liver, the kidney, and the bone marrow of the above animals did not transfer to chloroform, but it transferred easily to BAL.

Methylmercury Biosorption Activity by Methylmercury-resistant Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated From West Sekotong, Indonesia

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2018
Methylmercury has been generally known as a toxic heavy metal for both human and environment. Bacterial-based bioremediation of heavy metal is suggested as an ecofriendly and low-cost bioremediation process.

Is Low Non-Lethal Concentration of Methylmercury Really Safe? A Report on Genotoxicity with Delayed Cell Proliferation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Human exposure to relatively low levels of methylmercury is worrying, especially in terms of its genotoxicity. It is currently unknown as to whether exposure to low levels of mercury (below established limits) is safe.

In vivo evaluation of the potential protective effects of prolactin against damage caused by methylmercury

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2022
Non-biodegradable metals such as mercury accumulate in living organisms during life (bioaccumulation) and also within trophic webs (biomagnification) and may reach high concentrations in humans.

Bioconcentração e biomagnificação de metilmercúrio na baía de Guanabara, Rio de Janeiro

Química Nova, 2011
Methylmercury was determined in water and aquatic biota from Guanabara Bay. Trophic transfer of methylmercury was observed between trophic levels from prey (microplankton, mesoplankton and fish with different feeding habits) to top predator (pelagic ...

Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Function in Relation to Methylmercury Neurotoxicity

Toxics, 2018
After the European Food Safety Authority reviewed reports of methylmercury and heart rate variability (HRV) in 2012, the panel concluded that, although some studies of cardiac autonomy suggested an autonomic effect of methylmercury, the results were ...
