Uma das coisas mais bonitas em nossa cultura Munduruku e que nos foi passada por nossos ancestrais é de que nós fazemos parte do mundo e o mundo faz parte de cada um de nós. Tudo foi criado a partir da voz mágica de Karusakaibo usando os corpos dos nossos parentes-seres para fazer nascer todos os nos...

Burden of Mild Mental Retardation attributed to prenatal methylmercury exposure in Amazon: local and regional estimates

Abstract The gold rush in the Amazon Region caused an increase of mercury (Hg) levels in the environment, and, consequently, raised human exposure. Once released into aquatic systems, Hg could generate methylmercury (MeHg), an extremely toxic compound, which is accumulated through trophic chains. Several...

Developmental neurotoxicity: methylmercury and prenatal exposure protection in the context of the Minamata Convention

Mercury is a global pollutant of public environmental health concern due to its long-range atmospheric distribution, environmental distribution, and neurotoxic effects. Following biological methylation, methylmercury (MeHg) can be un-evenly bioaccumulated within aquatic food chains. Fish consumption can ...

Validación de un método para determinar metilmercurio en tejido de pescado por cromatografía de gases
Validation of a method to determine methylmercury in fish tissues using gas chromatography

Rev. cuba. aliment. nutr; 14 (2), 2000
Se validó el método para determinar metilmercurio en tejido de pescado, por cromatografía de gases con detector de captura electrónica, descrito en la Association of Official Analytical Chemist (AOAC) International. El intervalo lineal de la curva se obtuvo entre 0,02 y 1 m g/mL, el coeficiente de co...

Effects of low-dose exposure of rat fetuses pancreas to methylmercury: morphometric and stereologic studies

Rev. chil. anat; 16 (2), 1998
El cloruro de metilmercurio (20 mg/kg de peso corporal), cuando fue administrado oralmente a ratas Wistar en el día 10 de la preñez, dio origen a fetos y placentas de menor peso. Hubo muerte y reabsorción fetal, a pesar de no existir malformaciones macroscópicas. Histológicamente, los acinos pancreÃ...

Morphologic, morphometric and stereologic analysis of palatine mucosa of rat fetuses after methylmercury administration to the dams during pregnancy

Rev. chil. anat; 14 (1), 1996
El cloruro de metilmercurio, administrado oralmente a ratas wistar en el día 10 de la gestación (20 mg/kg), originó fetos y placentas menores y cordones umbilicales más cortos. Las incidencias de mortalidad y de reabsorciones se encontraron aumentadas. Histológicamente, el epitelio del paladar duro ...
