Methylmercury exposure and developmental neurotoxicity
We are concerned that certain aspects of the systematic review on methylmercury (MeHg) exposure from seafood consumption and the risk of developmental neurotoxicity published in the Bulletin of World Health Organization could be misinterpreted.1 Specifically, the review does not address the issue of whether naturally-occurring, background levels of prenatal exposure to MeHg from maternal fish c...
متن کاملSelenium Protects Neonates against Neurotoxicity from Prenatal Exposure to Manganese
Manganese (Mn) exposure can affect brain development. Whether Selenium (Se) can protect neonates against neurotoxicity from Mn exposure remains unclear. We investigated this issue in 933 mother-newborn pairs in Shanghai, China, from 2008 through 2009. Umbilical cord serum concentrations of Mn and Se were measured and Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA) tests were conducted. The s...
متن کاملMethylmercury neurotoxicity independent of PCB exposure.
It is unclear whether the SDA long-term morbidity results (10) are coherent with mortality results. Among individuals who were symptom-free at the start of the study, there was an association between increased symptoms and PM. These risk estimates were 40-fold greater than those estimated for smoking. There were no analyses presented for those individuals who had symptoms at the start of the st...
متن کاملDevelopmental neurotoxicity: methylmercury and prenatal exposure protection in the context of the Minamata Convention.
Mercury is a global pollutant of public environmental health concern due to its long-range atmospheric distribution, environmental distribution, and neurotoxic effects. Following biological methylation, methylmercury (MeHg) can be un-evenly bioaccumulated within aquatic food chains. Fish consumption can be a significant route of human exposure to MeHg. MeHg exposure in the prenatal stage, at re...
متن کاملPrenatal choline supplementation protects against postnatal neurotoxicity.
Choline, a dietary compound present in many foods, has recently been classified as an essential nutrient for humans. There is evidence from animal models that the availability of choline during the prenatal period influences neural and cognitive development. Here we report that choline supplementation during a 6 d gestational period protects against neurodegeneration in the posterior cingulate ...
