Reaction (E)-(4-((1,7,7-trimethyl bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylidene)amino)phenyl)mercury(II)chloride and (E)-(5-methyl-2-((1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylidene)amino)phenyl) mercury(II)chloride with tellurium tetrabromide in 2:1 mole ratio yielded ...

INTRODUCTION Heavy metals can negatively influence the reproduction due to the fact that they are able to impair the immune reactions including autoantibody production in susceptible individuals. In such a way the infertility could be also caused by altered pathologic immune reaction. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the in vitro lymphocyte reaction after stimulation with metals and production...

Background and Aims: Mercury, with its oxidative activity, causes damage to the antioxidant enzymes thus resulting in physiological disorders. Sodium selenide is an antioxidant that protects antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of sodium selenide on renal toxicity induced by mercuric chloride in rats. Materials and Methods: Animals were divided in...

A systematic study on the efficiency of inductively coupled plasma quadruple mass spectrometry (ICP–QMS) in determination of stable mercury isotopes profile has been conducted. Two types of effects have been observed: non-specific, which influenced all mercury isotopes, and specific, which applied only to selected isotopes. Non-specific effects were those, for which the sensitivity depended sig...

In the present paper the use of a MSFIA system for determination of mercury in rice by cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CV AFS) is proposed. The sample digestion is performed in a microwave oven using nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The experimental conditions for vapour generation were determined using a full two-level factorial design involving the following factors: nitric ac...

An attempt has been made to study the influence of taurine on mercury intoxicated rats. The animals were treated with sublethal dose of mercuric chloride (2 mg/kg body wt.) for 30 days. During the mercury treatment, the level ofAspartate transaminase(AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT) and Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) in serum and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in liver tissue significantly increased where...

The toxic effects of mercury are known to be complex with specific enzyme inhibitions and subsequent oxidative stress adding to the damaging effects. There are likely other factors involved, such as the development of impaired metal ion homeostasis and depletion of thiol and selenium based metabolites such as cysteine and selenium. Much of the toxicity of mercury occurs at the intracellular lev...

In this work, theoretical rate constants are estimated for mercury oxidation reactions by hydrogen chloride that may occur in the flue gases of coal combustion. Rate constants are calculated using transition state theory at the quadratic configuration interaction (QCI) level of theory with single and double excitations, and are compared to results obtained from density functional theory, both i...

Polarographicdata are presented for the reduction of selenite ion in 3M sulfuric acid, 1M potassium chloride, and 1M ammonia-ammonium chloride. In these first two media two waves are obtained correspondingto the diffusion-controlled reduction of selenite ion to selenium amalgam and the adsorption of selenite ion on the mercury drop, respectively. One wave is obtained in ammonia-ammonium chlorid...
