Altered DNA Repair, Antioxidant and Cellular Proliferation Status as Determinants of Susceptibility to Methylmercury Toxicity in Vitro
Methylmercury (MeHg) is a pervasive environmental contaminant with potent neurotoxic, teratogenic and likely carcinogenic activity, for which the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. Base excision repair (BER) is important in mitigating the pathogenic effects of oxidative stress,...
