Pregnant C57BL/6 mice were orally given daily doses of 4 or 6 mg/kg of methylmercury
chloride (MeHg) or vehicle during either gestational days 7–9 (GD7–9) or days 12–14 …

Methylmercury (MeHg) can be transferred to the fetus through the placenta and to newborn
offspring through breast milk. The higher mercury (Hg) accumulation and susceptibility to …

Methylmercury (MeHg) has cytotoxic effects on animals and humans, and a major target
organ for MeHg is the central nervous system (CNS). It is well known that the developing …

The effects of prenatal methylmercury (MeHg) exposure on the behavior of postnatal
offspring were determined in 129 SvSl mice. A single dose of 0, 6, 8, or 12 mg/kg of …

The extent to which postnatal methylmercury exposure contributes to neurobehavioral
delays is uncertain. Confounding may occur because the child's dietary exposure likely …

Maternal exposure to the neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg) has been shown to have
adverse effects on neural development of the offspring in man. Little is known about the …

A cohort of 1022 consecutive singleton births was generated during 1987–1988 in the Faroe
Islands, where increased methylmercury exposure occurs from traditional seafood diets that …

The environmental contamination by methylmercury (MeHg) is a major concern for public
health. The effects of MeHg in the central nervous system (CNS) of adult animals have been …

Human exposure to the life-span developmental neurotoxicant, methylmercury (MeHg), is
primarily via the consumption of fish or marine mammals. Fish are also excellent sources of …

We have shown previously that prenatal exposure of rats to 0.5 mg/kg/day of methylmercury
(MeHg) produces gender-dependent changes in motor activity in adulthood. In the present …
