Glutathione reductase plays a role in the metabolism of methylmercury degradation in Rhodotorula mucilaginosa [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumMercury pollution is a kind of heavy metal pollution with great harm and strong toxicity which exists worldwide. Some microorganisms can convert highly toxic methylmercury into inorganic mercury compounds with significantly reduced toxicity.

Protective effects of organoselenium compounds against methylmercury-induced oxidative stress in mouse brain mitochondrial-enriched fractions [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011 We evaluated the potential neuroprotective effect of 1-100 µM of four organoselenium compounds: diphenyl diselenide, 3’3-ditri-fluoromethyldiphenyl diselenide, p-methoxy-diphenyl diselenide, and p-chloro-diphenyl diselenide, against methylmercury ...

Studies on methylmercury compounds in Ictalurus nebulosus (Le Sueur, 1819) exposed to mercury chloride [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1980 Individuals of Ictalurus nebulosus (Le Sueur, 1819) were bathed in solutions of HgCl2 and CH3HgCl. Methylmercury compounds were detected in muscles, liver, and kidneys of those individuals exposed to HgCl2, which indicates mercury methylation to have ...

Conventional Chromatographic Techniques and Biosensors for Mercury Speciation in Seafood: A Systematic Review [PDF]
FoodsMercury (Hg) is of significant concern due to its toxicity, which strongly depends on its chemical forms, and organic mercury compounds, particularly methylmercury (MeHg), are considered the most toxic species.

Global mercury dataset with predicted methylmercury concentrations in seafoods during 1995–2022 [PDF]
Scientific DataMercury exposure poses significant threats to human health, particularly in its organic form, methylmercury (MeHg). Diet is the main pathway for human MeHg exposure, especially through seafood consumption.

Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 247-262., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Assessment of the effects of organic vs. inorganic arsenic and mercury in Caenorhabditis elegans
Current Research in Toxicology, 2022 Exposures to mercury and arsenic are known to pose significant threats to human health. Effects specific to organic vs. inorganic forms of these toxic elements are less understood however, especially for organic dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), which has ...
