Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1558-1574, May 2025.ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) pollution has emerged as an escalating threat to human health, with its induced kidney toxicity being closely linked to oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, we extracted and analyzed primary anthocyanins from 11 superfruits using UPLC‐Triple‐TOF/MS and evaluated their antioxidant capacity through DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and

Methylmercury and the Developing Brain
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007 We reported that prenatal exposure to methylmercury causes cognitive impairment in an estimated 316,588 children born in the United States each year, costing this nation $8.7 billion annually in lost productivity (Trasande et al. 2005). Each year, this exposure also causes an estimated 1,566 cases of mental retardation (Trasande et al. 2006).

Morphine protects against methylmercury intoxication: a role for opioid receptors in oxidative stress? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Mercury is an extremely dangerous environmental contaminant responsible for episodes of human intoxication throughout the world. Methylmercury, the most toxic compound of this metal, mainly targets the central nervous system, accumulating preferentially ...

On a smooth scalar field characterizing the risk of exposure to methyl-mercury due to non intentional consumption of shark meet in males of México city's metropolitan area [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this article, we obtain, through statistical and numerical methods, a smooth function in the variables of the life stage and the concentration, which estimates the risk of exposure of methylmercury due to the unintentional consumption of shark in men from Mexico City.

Understanding the Mechanism of Cardiotoxicity Induced by Nanomaterials: A Comprehensive Review
Small Science, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2025.This review provides a bibliometric analysis for understanding the study of nanotoxicity on cardiovascular health. It begins by outlining the pathways through which nanomaterials enter the cardiovascular system, followed by a summary of the mechanisms underlying nanomaterial‐induced cardiotoxicity.

Molecular composition of organic matter controls methylmercury formation in boreal lakes
Nature Communications, 2017 Neurotoxic methylmercury can be found in high levels in aquatic systems, but the role of organic matter in methylmercury formation is not well understood. Here, Bravoet al.

A 1500-year record of mercury isotopes in seal feces documents sea ice changes in the Antarctic
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Temporal and spatial variations in sea ice coverage at high Northern Hemisphere latitudes have been shown to affect the photodegradation of methylmercury in seawater and the mercury isotope signatures in biological samples, suggesting the potential of ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.Heavy metal content in commercially available dog foods exceeded the maximum tolerable limits compared to cat foods. Higher priced, premium brands contained higher levels of heavy metals compared to the cheaper supermarket brands. There is a need for more stringent monitoring and regulation of heavy metal content in pet foods.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.Due to the massive hunting by humans, the number of spotted seals has decreased dramatically. This study used the ICPMS method to conduct experiments and analysed the correlation between heavy metal accumulations in the bodies of naturally grown spotted seals in the Bohai Sea and artificially raised spotted seals in aquariums and water samples.

Mercury speciation and safety of fish from important fishing locations in the Czech Republic
Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2012 The aim of the study was to describe the distribution of total mercury in the tissues of fish originating from important Czech fishing locations and to determine the level of methylmercury as a percentage of total mercury (Hg speciation).
