" Therefore, here it was investigated whether peripheral blood markers may be useful for assessing the central toxic effects of methylmercury (MeHg)."( Platelet oxygen consumption as a peripheral blood marker of brain energetics in a mouse model of severe neurotoxicity.

" The results obtained suggest that lead chloride and aluminum nitrate at low concentrations were toxic primarily to astrocytes and at the higher concentrations it also induced neurotoxicity."( A human pluripotent carcinoma stem cell-based model for in vitro developmental neurotoxicity testing: effects of methylmercury, lead and aluminum evaluated by gene expression studies.

" Untested chemicals should not be presumed to be safe to brain development, and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicity."( Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity.

"Methyl mercury (MeHg) is a highly toxic substance and the effect of selenium against MeHg toxicity is a hot topic."( Selenocystine against methyl mercury cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells.

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Thus, in the present study, piscivorous European catfish (Silurus glanis) and non-piscivorous common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were selected, to investigate the bioavailability and bioaccumulation capacities of both total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) at the discharge site and downstream points."( Patterns of mercury and methylmercury bioaccumulation in fish species downstream of a long-term mercury-contaminated site in the lower Ebro River (NE Spain).
Barata, C; Bayona, JM; Carrasco, L; Díez, S; García-Berthou, E; Tobias, A, 2011
)

" In conclusion, MDF prepared from cassava pulp may be useful as an ingredient to reduce mercury bioavailability from food such as fish specifically by inhibiting mercury transfer to the bioaccessibile fraction during digestion."( Modified Dietary Fiber from Cassava Pulp and Assessment of Mercury Bioaccessibility and Intestinal Uptake Using an In Vitro Digestion/Caco-2 Model System.
Ferruzzi, MG; Kachenpukdee, N; Oonsivilai, R; Santerre, CR, 2016

" Nevertheless, bioavailability and cellular toxicity pathways of inorganic (IHg) and methyl-Hg (MeHg) remain poorly understood."( Cellular toxicity pathways of inorganic and methyl mercury in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
