Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for normal neurodevelopment. It is incorporated
into multiple selenoenzymes which have roles in the brain and neurological function, the …

Methylmercury is now recognized as an important developmental neurotoxicant, though this
insight developed slowly over many decades. Developmental neurotoxicity was first …

Human fetuses and neonates are particularly vulnerable to methylmercury (MeHg)-induced
brain damage and are sensitive even to low exposure levels. Previous work of our group …

Pregnant rats were exposed to ethanol (EtOH) and/or methyl mercury (MeHg) during fetal
brain development. Nitrergic activity was quantified by densitometric measurement of …

Eighty ICR mice were randomly assigned to one of four groups given daily intraperitoneal
injections of 0, 0.1, 1 or 3 mg/kg MeHg chloride respectively from postnatal days (PD) 15–17 …

Because the toxicological effects of mercury (Hg) are more serious in the developing central
nervous system of children than adults, there are growing concerns about prenatal and early …

During the early postnatal period the brain is extremely sensitive to external agents. Here,
we examined the effect of subcutaneous injections of methylmercury (MeHg; 2 mg/kg) during …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a hazardous environmental pollutant, affecting Amazon basin
communities by anthropogenic activities. The exact safe level of MeHg exposure is unclear …

Mercury is a well-known toxic metal and potently induces severe neurotoxicological effects,
especially in infants and children. The purpose of this study was to explore the underlying …

It is quite often that as researchers performing in vitro studies we are asked by reviewers of a
manuscript or a grant proposal “what is the physiological relevance of the concentrations …
