Lipophilic compounds in garlic decrease the toxicity of methylmercury by forming sulfur adducts

Yumi Abiko et al.

Summary: The study found that garlic contains reactive sulfur species that can bind to methylmercury to form bismethylmercury sulfide, which reduces methylmercury toxicity by inhibiting adverse reactions.

Adverse effects of methylmercury on gut bacteria and accelerated accumulation of mercury in organs due to disruption of gut microbiota

Natsumi Seki et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that MeHg covalently binds to gut bacterial proteins via cysteine residues, inhibits the growth of certain Lactobacillus species, and gut bacteria contribute to the production of reactive sulfur species in the gut. The removal of gut bacteria accelerates the accumulation of mercury in mice organs subsequent to MeHg exposure, indicating the role of gut microbiota in reducing MeHg toxicity.
