Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental toxicant that leads to long-lasting neurological
and developmental deficits in animals and humans. Although the molecular mechanisms …

Selenium is an essential trace element for animals and its role in the chemistry of life relies
on a unique functional group: the selenol (–SeH) group. The selenol group participates in …

In this review, we summarized the potential role of synthetic organoseleno compounds as
therapeutic or toxic agents, giving emphasis almost exclusively to diphenyl diselenide, the …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a hazardous environmental pollutant, which elicits significant
toxicity in humans. The accumulation of MeHg through the daily consumption of large …

The central nervous system is one of the most vulnerable organs affected by mercury
toxicity. Both acute and chronic exposure to mercury is also known to cause a variety of …

Guanosine is a purine nucleoside thought to have neuroprotective properties. It is released
in the brain under physiological conditions and even more during pathological events …

We demonstrate here that functional NMDAR1 and NMDAR2 receptors are expressed by
Mcf-7 and SKBR3 breast cancer cell lines, and possibly by most or all high-grade breast …

The antagonism of mercury toxicity by selenium has been well documented. Mercury is a
toxic metal, widespread in the environment. The main target organs (kidneys, lungs, or …

Methylmercury (MeHg) preferentially accumulates in glia of the central nervous system
(CNS), but its toxic mechanisms have yet to be fully recognized. In the present study, we …

Methylmercury (MeHg) remains a global public health issue because of its frequent
presence in human food sources obtained from the water. The excretion of MeHg in humans …
