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 …

The earth's resources are finite, and it can no longer be considered a source of
inexhaustible bounty for the human population. However, this realization has not been able …

Selenium (Se) supplementation in the nutritionally relevant range counteracts
methylmercury (MeHg) toxicity. Since Se tends to be abundant in fish, MeHg exposures …

Environmental exposure to neurotoxic metals and metalloids such as arsenic, cadmium,
lead, mercury, or manganese is a global health concern affecting millions of people …

Marine mammals are indicator species of the Arctic ecosystem and an integral component of
the traditional Inuit diet. The potential neurotoxic effects of increased mercury (Hg) in beluga …

Despite evidence of persistent methylmercury (MeHg) contamination in the South River
(Virginia, USA) ecosystem, there is little information concerning MeHg-associated …

Thousands of environmental contaminants have neurotoxic properties, but their ecological
risk is poorly characterized. Contaminant‐associated disruptions to animal behavior and …

The alkyl mercury compounds methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg) have been
shown to be toxic to humans and non-human animals as well (Driscoll et al. 2013). Both of …

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the benefits of mammalian wildlife as models in
environmental neurotoxicology. This is first addressed by discussing the general …

Mercury (Hg) is a pollutant of global concern. Sentinel species such as river otter (Lontra
