Journal ArticleDOI
Methylmercury exposure and health effects in humans: a worldwide concern.
Donna Mergler,Henry A. Anderson,Laurie Hing Man Chan,Kathryn R. Mahaffey,Michael Murray,Mineshi Sakamoto,Alan H. Stern +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that to preserve human health, all efforts need to be made to reduce and eliminate sources of exposure from the large number of marine and freshwater fish and fish-eating species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current progress on understanding the impact of mercury on human health.
Eunhee Ha,Niladri Basu,Stephan Bose-O'Reilly,José G. Dórea,Emeir M. McSorley,Mineshi Sakamoto,Hing Man Chan +6 more
TL;DR: A critical review of the literature published since January 2012 concluded that more knowledge synthesis efforts are needed to translate the research results into management tools for health professionals and policy makers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing the benefits of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and the risks of methylmercury exposure from fish consumption
Kathryn R Mahaffey,Elsie M. Sunderland,Hing Man Chan,Anna L. Choi,Philippe Grandjean,Koenraad Mariën,Emily Oken,Mineshi Sakamoto,Rita Schoeny,Pal Weihe,Chong-Huai Yan,Akira Yasutake +11 more
TL;DR: This review documents the latest knowledge on the risks and benefits of seafood consumption for perinatal development of infants and suggests it is possible to choose fish species that are both high in n-3 PUFAs and low in MeHg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of changes in methylmercury accumulation in the developing rat brain and its effects: a study with consecutive and moderate dose exposure throughout gestation and lactation periods.
Mineshi Sakamoto,Akiyoshi Kakita,Koichi Wakabayashi,Hitoshi Takahashi,Atsuhiro Nakano,Hirokatsu Akagi +5 more
TL;DR: Although offspring are subjected to consecutive and moderate dose MeHg exposure throughout both the gestation and suckling periods, the risk is especially high during gestation but may decrease during lactation, and focal cerebellar dysplasia, including the heterotopic location of Purkinje cells and granule cells, was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal and fetal mercury and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as a risk and benefit of fish consumption to fetus.
TL;DR: Results confirm that both MeHg and DHA which originated from fish consumption transferred from maternal to fetal circulation and existed in the fetal circulation with a positive correlation, thereby balancing the risks and benefits from fish comsumption.
