We reevaluate the treatment of mercury poisoning, incorporating recent advances in understanding toxicity and mercury:selenium interaction. This review focuses on: 1) role, limitations benefits chelation (Unithiol, succimer N-Acetylcysteine); 2) role selenium supplementation; 3) how different forms are impacted by use selenium. Unithiol produce increases urinary excretion to a lesser degree blo...

The study aims at providing a strategy to synthesize self assembled structures where a coordination complex has been touted as the building block and to accomplish such a strategy, several coordination complexes of pyridineamide based bidenate and tridentate ligands have been used as the building blocks. Further, such building blocks either offer H-bond donor/acceptors groups (phenol, catechol ...

The potential bioavailability of Hg from soil might be estimated by a variety of chemical extraction procedures, differing in the extraction agent, its concentration, the sample weight, and the time of extraction. In this study, a comparative analysis of several extraction methods, commonly used for obtaining the mobile and potentially mobilizable phase of the mercury was carried out. Concentra...

Several factors affect the autoimmune response, including iron-dependent modulation of T cells. Hemopexin is the plasma protein with the highest binding affinity to heme. It mediates heme-iron recovery in the liver, thus controlling heme-iron availability in peripheral cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of hemopexin in the progress of an autoimmune response. To this...
