Fish consumption is the main exposure pathway of neurotoxicant methylmercury (MeHg) in humans. The risk associated with to MeHg may be modified by its interactions selenium (Se) and arsenic (As). In vitro bioaccessibility studies have demonstrated that cooking fish muscle decreases solubility markedly and, as a consequence, potential absorption consumer. However, this phenomenon has yet validated vivo models. Our study aimed test whether can used surrogate assess effect on availability. We...
Uptake of the neurotoxicant monomethylmercury (MeHg) from fish and marine mammals continues to present a public health concern in Canada elsewhere. However, are key diet items contributing food security for some Indigenous populations Canada. Mercury (Hg) exposure is estimated assuming that 100% Hg methylated, will be absorbed by consumer cooking does not affect MeHg concentrations. Some these assumptions do correspond our current state knowledge. The aim this study was assess impact...
