Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to study molecular mechanisms of methylmercury toxicity
Methylmercury (MeHg), a known neurotoxicant, is found in seafood, leading to regular exposure of humans to this compound. Many of the molecular targets and detoxifying components of MeHg toxicity, including glutathione (GSH), metallothioneins (MTs), and heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been identifie...
