Comparison of Blood and Brain Mercury Levels in Infant Monkeys Exposed to Methylmercury... - 0 views

  •  
    Animal study finds that methyl Hg is not useful in determining effects of ethyl mercury.  According to this study, the conclusion is that the ethyl Mercury from Thimerosal is converted to inorganic Hg as evident in the results.  So, in essence, the ethyl mercury, considered less toxic than methyl mercury, is converted to inorganic Mercury a more toxic compound.  The results of the study revealed a higher % of inorganic Hg in the brains of those exposed to thimerosal to those exposed to methylMercury.

    low methylmercury shown to accumulate in the brains of monkeys in the form of inorganic mercury.  Specifically, astrocytes and microglial cells accumulated the inorganic mercury.  Long-term low exposure can result in neuro-accumulation of inorganic mercury and neurotoxicity.

  • These modulatory effects - which most likely involve binding with functional thiol residues - are interwoven with neurotoxic actions of both mercurials.
  • THIM is metabolized in the body to ethyl mercury (EtHg) and subsequently to inorganic mercury forms, which accumulate in tissues of vital organs, including the brain (22). Information about neurochemical and neurotoxic effects of THIM is still limited, but the existing data indicate that in pharmacodynamics and toxicity THIM/EtHg does not differ significantly from methyl mercury (MeHg), which has been studied more extensively, although these compounds differ somewhat in pharmacokinetics (8).
  • Several studies documented that the neurotoxic effects of mercurials involve glutamate-mediated excitotoxicty, due to their ability to inhibit uptake of glutamate in astrocytes, resulting in an increase of the extracellular level of this excitatory amino acid

  •  
    Lipopolysaccharide, LPS, released from gram negative bacteria exacerbates the innate immune system response to mercury.  This study found increased IgG1 and IgE levels increased in response to Hg with the presence of LPS.   This study looked at the autoimmune impact of LPS in autism.
