The fate of methylmercury through the formation of bismethylmercury sulfide as an intermediate in mice

A previous study by our group indicated that methylmercury (MeHg) is biotransformed to bismethylmercury sulfide [(MeHg)(2)S)] by interaction with reactive sulfur species (RSS) produced in the body. In the present study, we explored the transformation of MeHg to (MeHg)(2)S in the gut and the subseque...
