Toxic injury from mercuric chloride in rat hepatocytes.
The relationship between cytosolic free Ca2+, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP depletion, pyridine nucleotide fluorescence, cell surface blebbing, and cell death was evaluated in rat hepatocytes exposed to HgCl2. In cell suspensions, 50 microM HgCl2 oxidized pyridine nucleotides between 1/2 and 2 min, caused ATP depletion between 2 and 5 min, and produced an 89% loss of cell viability afte...
متن کاملEye injury with mercuric chloride.
With the advent of modern ophthalmic treatment the use of mercury preparations in ophthalmology has almost been relegated to past history, but mercurous chloride (calomel) is still occasionally used as an insufflation into the eyes, especially in such conditions as phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis. Recently we saw a case wherein mercuric chloride (HgCl2) was mistaken for calomel and dusted int...
متن کاملPrenatal Mercuric Chloride Exposure Causes Developmental Deficits in Rat Cortex
Introduction: Environmental pollution with heavy metals such as mercury is a major health problem. Growing studies on the field have shown the deleterious effects of mercury on human and nonhuman nervous system, especially in infants, however the effects of prenatal exposure to mercuricchloride on cortical development are not yet well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the eff...
متن کاملHypoproteinemia as Protection against Mercuric Chloride Injury in Dogs
Twelve control dogs receiving a single intravenous injection of mercuric chloride, 3.0 mg. per kg., all died within 4 to 11 days afterwards with marked nitrogen retention and extensive necrosis and calcification of the epithelium lining the proximal convoluted tubules. Three dogs of comparable age and weight were reduced to a standard hypoproteinemic state by repeated plasmapheresis. Each dog t...
متن کاملAssessment of haematotoxic potential of mercuric chloride in rat.
The blood is an important liquid connective tissue flow in body and performs the role of distribution of oxygen to various tissues, taken out carbon dioxide and maintains the health status of an organism. Any change in the blood components can cause adverse effects on the body. The effect of mercuric chloride has been evaluated on blood in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus). The albino rats were t...
