Journal ArticleDOI
The role of thiols, dithiols, nutritional factors and interacting ligands in the toxicology of mercury.
TL;DR: The issue of diagnostic testing for chronic, historical or low dose mercury poisoning is considered including an analysis of the influence of ligand interactions and nutritional factors upon the accuracy of "chelation challenge" tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the clinical toxicity of mercury.
Laszlo Magos,Thomas W. Clarkson +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to survey differences in human exposure and in the toxicology of different forms of mercury to study subclinical effects in population studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is dental amalgam safe for humans? The opinion of the scientific committee of the European Commission
TL;DR: It was claimed by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in a report to the EU-Commission that "....no risks of adverse systemic effects exist and the current use of dental amalgam does not pose a risk of systemic disease..."
Journal ArticleDOI
Amalgam studies: disregarding basic principles of mercury toxicity.
TL;DR: A number of studies are methodically flawed drawing inaccurate conclusions as to the safety of dental amalgam, considering the newest findings on mercury toxicity and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential adverse health effects of dental amalgam.
Amy M. Brownawell,Stanley Berent,Robert L. Brent,James V. Bruckner,John Doull,Eric Gershwin,Ronald D. Hood,Genevieve M. Matanoski,Raphael Rubin,Bernard Weiss,Meryl H. Karol +10 more
TL;DR: This review has uncovered no convincing evidence pointing to any adverse health effects that are attributable to dental amalgam restorations besides hypersensitivity in some individuals.

Journal ArticleDOI
Toxic Metals and Oxidative Stress Part I: Mechanisms Involved in Me-tal induced Oxidative Damage
TL;DR: It is suggested that metal-induced oxidative stress in cells can be partially responsible for the toxic effects of heavy metals, suggesting the importance of using antioxidants in heavy metal poisoning.
Journal Article
Molecular Interactions with Mercury in the Kidney
TL;DR: This review provides an update on the current body of knowledge regarding the molecular interactions that occur between mercury and various thiol-containing molecules with respect to the mechanisms involved in the renal cellular uptake, accumulation, elimination, and toxicity of mercury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal study of methylmercury and inorganic mercury in blood and urine of pregnant and lactating women, as well as in umbilical cord blood.
TL;DR: Exposure to methylmercury and mercury vapor in pregnant women and their newborns in Stockholm shows the importance of speciation of Hg in blood for evaluation of exposure and health risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury Induces Cell Cytotoxicity and Oxidative Stress and Increases β‐Amyloid Secretion and Tau Phosphorylation in SHSY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells
Gianfranco Olivieri,Ch. Brack,F. Müller-Spahn,H. B. Stähelin,M. Herrmann,P. Renard,M. Brockhaus,Christoph Hock,Christoph Hock +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exposure of cells to 50 μg/L HgCl2 for 30 min induces a 30% reduction in cellular glutathione (GSH) levels, and results indicate that mercury may play a role in pathophysiological mechanisms of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total and inorganic mercury in breast milk in relation to fish consumption and amalgam in lactating women.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found a significant correlation between levels of any form of mercury in milk and the levels of organic mercury in blood, with milk levels being an average of 27% of the blood levels.
