Abstract
⺠Toxic effects of a diet rich in fish contaminated with MeHg in rats were evaluated. ⺠MeHg-contaminated fish diet induced a slight lipid peroxidation and genotoxicity. ⺠The effects are less pronounced than when rats are exposed to aqueous solution of CH3HgCl. ⺠The chemical form of MeHg in fish or fish nutrients could minimize the effects of MeHg exposure.
