New Information on the Mechanisms Underlying the Neurotoxicity Caused by Methylmercury and Manganese

Toxic elements are extensively distributed in the Earth’s crust and individuals may be exposed to several of them. Indeed, exposure toxic such as mercury (Hg) can a potential health risk factor health, mainly by ingestion fish containing methylmercury (MeHg). On other hand, essential manganese (Mn) play an important role physiological process human body. In this regard, it is well known that MeHg Manganese have neurotoxic effects on developing brain. Therefore, we discuss Methylmercury cell signaling pathways review, these contribute molecular mechanisms underlying -induced neurotoxicity.
