Methylmercury is a widely distributed environmental toxicant with detrimental effects on the
developing and adult nervous system. Due to its accumulation in the food chain, chronic …

Environmental pollution is a global threat and represents a strong risk factor for human
health. It is estimated that pollution causes about 9 million premature deaths every year …

Organic mercury (Hg) species exert their toxicity primarily in the central nervous system. The
food relevant Hg species methylmercury (MeHg) has been frequently studied regarding its …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental neurotoxicant whose molecular mechanisms
underlying toxicity remain elusive. Here, we investigated molecular events involved in MeHg …

Background Mercury is a well-known neurotoxin implicated in a wide range of neurological

Mercury (Hg), which is a non-essential element, is considered a highly toxic pollutant for
biological systems even when present at trace levels. Elevated Hg exposure with the …

Plants of the genus Polygala have been shown to possess protective effects against
neuronal death and cognitive impairments in neurodegenerative disorders related to …

Mercury exerts a variety of toxic effects, depending on the specific compound and route of
exposure. However, neurotoxicity in virtue of its consequence to health causes the greatest …

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic metal, which can be found in its inorganic form in the
environment. This form presents lower liposolubility and lower absorption in the body. In …

Chronic exposure to heavy metals such as Pb, As, and MeHg can be associated with an
increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases. Our in vitro bioassays results …
