The present study addresses existing data on the affinity and conjugation of sulfhydryl (thiol;-
SH) groups of low-and high-molecular-weight biological ligands with mercury (Hg). The …

Essential metals are crucial for the maintenance of cell homeostasis. Among the 23
elements that have known physiological functions in humans, 12 are metals, including iron …

Neurological disorders are common, costly, and can cause enduring disability. Although
mostly unknown, a few environmental toxicants are recognized causes of neurological …

Interest in biochemistry of organoselenium compound has increased in the last decades,
mainly due to their chemical and biological activities. Here, we investigated the protective …

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

Methylmercury is a neurotoxicant that is found in fish and rice. MeHg's toxicity is mediated by
blockage of-SH and-SeH groups of proteins. However, the identification of MeHg's targets is …

Potentially carcinogenic compounds may cause cancer through direct DNA damage or
through indirect cellular or physiological effects. To study possible carcinogens, the fields of …

Fish consumption is the main source of methylmercury (CH 3 Hg+) exposure for humans. In
this study, gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs-RGO) modified …

Oxidative stress (OS) is a redox homeostasis disorder that results in oxidation of cell
components and thus disturbs cell metabolism. OS is induced by numerous internal as well …

The treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances could have an important role in the induction
of oxidative stress and associated negative consequences. Because of the simultaneous …
