Maternal methylmercury exposure changes the proteomic profile of the offspring’s salivary glands: Prospects on translational toxicology
<h4>Background</h4> Methylmercury (MeHg) remains a public health issue since developing organisms are particularly vulnerable to this environmental contaminant. This study investigated the effect of maternal MeHg exposure on the modulation of proteomic profile of parotid (PA), submandibu...
