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-induced

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 ...

Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of low doses of mercury chloride and methylmercury chloride on human lymphocytes in vitro [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Mercury is a xenobiotic metal that is a highly deleterious environmental pollutant. The biotransformation of mercury chloride (HgCl2) into methylmercury chloride (CH3HgCl) in aquatic environments is well-known and humans are exposed by consumption of ...

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.

Chemical Toxicants Used for Food Preservation in Africa. Is it a Case of Ignorance or Food Fraud? A Review. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims This review examined the use of chemical preservatives in food preservation and the food fraud risks associated with its misuse in Africa. In Africa, there is growing reliance on the use of synthetic chemical preservation such as benzoates, nitrates or sorbates to preserve foods to improve the storage life of the foods ...
