Characteristics of hand tremor and postural sway in patients with fetal-type Minamata disease
Toyoto Iwata,Shigeru Takaoka,Mineshi Sakamoto,Eri Maeda,Masaaki Nakamura,Xiao-Jie Liu,Katsuyuki Murata +6 more
TL;DR: Spectral analyses of computerized hand tremor and postural sway are suggested to be useful for assessing the pathophysiological change, related to a lesion of the cerebellum, resulting from prenatal methylmercury exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary lipids on lipid peroxidation and the accumulation of mercury in rat tissues
TL;DR: Two groups of male Wister rats were fed vitamin-E deficient diets containing either of two kinds of lipid, beef tallow containing less amount of polyunsaturated fatty acid or cod-liver oil containing much of one, and the blood cells, liver, kidney and brain were analyzed for total and inorganic mercury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast milk contribution to tissue mercury levels in rat pups examined by cross-fostering at birth.
Mineshi Sakamoto,Koichi Haraguchi,Nozomi Tatsuta,Masumi Marumoto,Megumi Yamamoto,Masaaki Nakamura +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the contribution of breast milk transferred via breast milk to the methylmercury (MeHg) levels in the tissues of pups (Wistar rats) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicokinetics of methylmercury in diabetic KK‐Ay mice and C57BL/6 mice
Megumi Yamamoto,Rie Yanagisawa,Atsushi Sakai,Masaki Mogi,Satoshi Shuto,Masachika Shudo,Hazuki Kashiwagi,Megumi Kudo,Masaaki Nakamura,Mineshi Sakamoto +9 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that MeHg is more rapidly absorbed by, and eliminated from, the blood cells, brain, liver, kidney, and pancreas of KK‐Ay mice under the experimental conditions.
