A number of environmental toxicants are noted for their activity that leads to declined motor
function. However, the role of muscle as a proximal toxicity target organ for environmental …

Developmental methylmercury (MeHg) exposure can have lasting consequences on neural
development and motor function across the lifespan. Recent evidence for MeHg targeting of …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant and developmental
toxicant known to cause a variety of persistent motor and cognitive deficits. While previous …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant, best known for its selective
targeting of the developing nervous system. MeHg exposure has been shown to cause …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a pervasive environmental toxicant, with known detrimental effects
on neurodevelopment. Despite a longstanding paradigm of neurotoxicity, where motor …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a persistent environmental toxin present in seafood that can
compromise the developing nervous system in humans. The effects of MeHg toxicity varies …

Methylmercury (MeHg)-induced neurotoxicity includes skeletal muscle symptoms (extremity
weakness and wasting, muscle cramp) in addition to ataxia and disturbances of sensory and …

Environmental toxicants such as methylmercury play a critical role in the pathogenesis of
many neurodevelopmental disorders. Environmental exposure to methylmercury frequently …

Methylmercury (MeHg) has cytotoxic effects on animals and humans, and a major target
organ for MeHg is the central nervous system (CNS). It is well known that the developing …

In the present study the neurotoxic effects of a low dosage (0.5 mg/kg per day) of
methylmercury (MeHg) on the developing nervous system were investigated. Pregnant rats …
