[Metabolismes of methylmercury sulfate and methylmercury iodide in animals].
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. The methylmercury compound in organs of cats fed (CH3Hg)2SO4 and rats fed CH3HgI accumulated...
متن کاملLeaf rolling reduces photosynthetic loss in maize under severe drought
Effects of leaf rolling (LR) on maize photosynthesis under severe drought stress were studied in two cultivars with opposite drought responses, Batem 56-55 (drought tolerant) and Batem 51-52 (drought sensitive). Drought stress and artifi cial prevention of leaf rolling (PLR) were applied at grain fi lling stage for 30 days. LR in Batem 56-55 occurred later than in Batem 51-52. Leaf water potent...
متن کاملMethylmercury Chloride Coaxed Oxidative Stress in Rats
The present experiment was designed to access the effects of Methylmercury chloride ( MeHgCl) on antioxidant status, protein concentration, lipid peroxidation and hydroperoxidation in brain parts, spinal cord, lung, heart and pancreas of rats. Twenty male Wistar rats (3 months old) were divided in saline controls (C) and MeHgCl-treated group (MMC). Treated rats were intoxicated with MMC ...
متن کاملMethylmercury Exposure and Health Effects
Methylmercury is a hazardous substance that is of interest with regard to environmental health, as inorganic mercury circulating in the general environment is dissolved into freshwater and seawater, condensed through the food chain, ingested by humans, and consequently affects human health. Recently, there has been much interest and discussion regarding the toxicity of methylmercury, the correl...
متن کاملInteraction between selenium and methylmercury.
The available data on the influence of selenium on the toxicity of methylmercury and of methylmercury on selenium as a nutrient and toxic agent are reviewed. Selenium as selenite has a relative protective effect on acute and subacute toxicity of methylmercury in the rat and the quail. The protective mechanism is far from clear. Of special interest is the fact that selenium-treated animals may r...
