Mapping metal (Hg, As, Se), lipid and protein levels within fish muscular system in two fish species (Striped Bass and Northern Pike)
(Elsevier, 2020-11-19)
Current guidelines tend to limitfish consumption based on mercury (Hg) or monomethylmercury(MeHg) content infishflesh, without considering the presence of antagonist chemical elements thatcould modulate Hg toxicity. However, ...
Relationship between extracellular low-molecular-weight thiols and mercury species in natural lake periphytic biofilms
(American chemical Society, 2015-05-26)
The uptake of mercury by microorganisms is a key step in the production of methylmercury, a biomagnifiable toxin. Mercury complexation by low molecular weight (LMW) thiols can affect its bioavailability and thus the ...
Photodemethylation of methylmercury in Eastern Canadian Arctic thaw pond and lake ecosystems
(2016-04-05)
Permafrost thaw ponds of the warming Eastern Canadian Arctic are major landscape constituents and often display high levels of methylmercury (MeHg). We examined photodegradation potentials in high-dissolved organic matter ...
High methylmercury in Arctic and subarctic ponds is related to nutrient levels in the warming eastern Canadian Arctic
(2015-06)
Permafrost thaw ponds are ubiquitous in the eastern
Canadian Arctic, yet little information exists on their potential as
sources of methylmercury (MeHg) to freshwaters. They are
microbially active and conducive to ...
The fish or the egg : maternal transfer and subcellular partitioning of mercury and selenium in Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(Elsevier, 2019-04-17)
Mercury (Hg) is a trace element of particular concern since it is ubiquitous in the environment and because its methylated form (MeHg) readily bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in food webs. This latter process leads to ...
Cooking and co-ingested polyphenols reduce in vitro methylmercury bioaccessibility from fish and may alter exposure in humans
MeHg bioaccessibility is reduced by food preparation
(Elsevier, 2017-10-31)
Fish consumption is a major pathway for mercury exposure in humans. Current guidelines and risk assessments assume that 100% of methylmercury (MeHg) in fish is absorbed by the human body after ingestion. However, a growing ...
