effects of mercury on neurochemical receptor-binding characteristics in wild mink.piscivorous wildlife, such as mink (mustela vison), routinely are exposed to mercury (hg) in their natural environment at levels that may cause adverse behavioral outcomes. the purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation exists between neurochemical receptors and concentrations of hg in the brains of wild mink. specifically, receptor-binding assays were conducted to characterize the muscarinic cholinergic (mach) and dopaminergic-2 (d2) systems in brain tissues collected from mink tra ...200516117121
cadmium, mercury and selenium concentrations in mink (mustela vison) from yukon, canada.mercury (total and methyl), cadmium and selenium concentrations were measured in liver, kidney and brain tissue from mink trapped from the yukon territory from 2001-2002. none of these metals was found at levels of toxicological concern. total mercury averaged 0.66, 0.92 and 0.22 microg g-1 in mink kidney, liver and brain tissue respectively, while methyl mercury averaged 0.77, 0.85 and 0.21 microg g-1 in the same tissues. selenium averaged 2.07, 1.40 and 0.39 microg g-1 in mink kidney, liver an ...200516076479
