[Mechanisms underlying changes in state of central nervous system pathways under exposure to metallic mercury].

Abstract

The authors revealed mercury role in pathologic changes of central mechanisms underlying cerebral circulation in metabolic circle, associated with changes in central afferent pathways in thalamic region. Relationship was established between intensity of the diagnosed affect and changes in levels of antibodies to proteins S-100, general myeline protein, myeline-associated glycoprotein - that can indicate general neurodegeneration process. Antibodies level can serve as a marker of demyelination intensity in central pathways under exposure to neurotoxicants.
