This review critically evaluates the available mercury (Hg) data in Arctic marine biota and the Inuit population against toxicity threshold values. In particular marine top predators exhibit concentrations of mercury in their tissues and organs that are believed to exceed thresholds for biological effects. Species whose concentrations exceed threshold values include the polar bears (Ursus marit...
background: contagion of aquatic ecosystems to heavy metals especially mercury (hg) has risen concerns about healthiness of marine organisms. organic mercury compounds are highly toxic for animals, and its detection in various samples is frequently needed. in present study we have described a new method for measurement of organic mercury and total mercury concentration in great cormorants (phal...
Mercury contamination of local fish stocks has become an escalating problem in the United States. Federal and state governments increasingly have issued fish consumption advisories to warn individuals of the risks of eating specific species of fish in particular quantities from individual bodies of water. Some indigenous groups in the United States who rely on these fisheries for subsistence an...
Mercury toxicity mediated by different forms of mercury is a major health problem, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying toxicity remains elusive. We analyzed effects of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) and monomethylmercury (MeHg) on the proteins of the mammalian thioredoxin system, thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and thioredoxin (Trx), and of the glutaredoxin system, glutathione reductase (GR) a...
Intracellular storage and levels of mercury and selenium were studied in the livers of top marine predators belong~ng to different vertebrate taxa. Total mercury levels showed very important interspecific variations, ranging from 2.6 pg g.' In tuna and swordfish to several thousand pg g-' (dry weight) in bottle-nosed and Risso's dolphins. However, methylmercury was less variable, ranging from 1...
Mercury-induced renal autoimmunity: changes in RT6+ T-lymphocytes of susceptible and resistant rats.
The repeated administration of mercury to rats of the Brown Norway (BN) inbred strain results in a self-limiting production of autoantibodies to renal antigens (e.g., laminin) and autoimmune glomerulonephritis. In contrast, rats of the Lewis (LEW) strain do not develop renal autoimmunity after mercury treatment. Suppressor T-cells and/or the idiotype-anti-idiotype network have been implicated i...
Background and objectives: Methyl mercury can carry out harmful effects on the reproductive, respiratory, and nervous system of human. Moreover, mercury is known as the most toxic heavy metal in nature. Fish and seafood consumption is the major MeHg exposure route for human. The present study tries to cover researches which have been conducted on mercury levels in 21 species of fish from Persia...
Background and Objectives: Due to the importance of Sanandaj Gheshlagh Reservoir (SGR) in the region and proven mercury pollution in SGR water, a research project was carried out to determine the amount of mercury concentration and bioaccumulation and its behavior through a food route in SGR food chain (i.e., water, sediments, fish, and human).This was done, because it has been reported that me...
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: There have been concerns over possible association between mercury and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants. In this study we aimed to determine whether blood levels of mercury are above safe values in Iranian infants or not. Materials and Methods: A total of 85 infants (0, 2, 4 and 6 months old) were enrolled in this study. All of them received vaccin...
We thank Mr. José G. Dórea for his interest in our article Total mercury content in canine hair before and after administration of vaccines containing thiomersal, which deals with the determination of total mercury in hair of dogs after administration of thiomersal-containing vaccine (TCV) with ethylmercury as active substance. We thank him, in particular, for very inspiring and valuable commen...
