EFFECTS OF MERCURY EXPOSURE ON CONDUCTANCE AND RESISTANCE VESSELS
Furieri LB, Peçanha FM, Wiggers GA. Efeitos da exposição ao mercúrio sobre vasos de condutância e resistência. Salus J Health Sci. [periódico na internet] 2016;2(3):39-45. Disponível: http://www.salusjournal.orgFull Article SummaryAbstract Exposure to mercury is a pro-inflammatory factor and causes oxidative stress. One of the main sites affected by oxidative stress, due to the development of atherosclerosis, is the aorta. In addition, changes in the reactivity of resistance arteries greatly influence blood pressure. This work aims to show the effects of mercury, in low concentrations, […]

CARDIOVASCULAR TOXIC EFFECTS OF COPPER
Nunes KZ, Fioresi M. Efeitos tóxicos cardiovasculares do cobre. Salus J Health Sci. [periódico na internet] 2016;2(3):30-8. Disponível: http://www.salusjournal.orgFull Article SummaryAbstract Objective: To describe the main cardiovascular effects developed by copper. Method: This is a narrative review of the literature. Results: Copper can act as a cofactor for some enzymes that act on the cardiovascular system, having an important role in the development of atherogenesis in the angiogenic control and the development of cardiac hypertrophy. […]

EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO MERCURY IN SPECIAL CIRCULATIONS
Furieri LB, Peçanha FM, Wiggers GA. Efeitos da exposição crônica ao mercúrio em circulações especiais. Salus J Health Sci. [periódico na internet] 2016;2(3):23-9. Disponível: http://www.salusjournal.orgFull Article SummaryAbstract It is well established that exposure to mercury, whether organic or inorganic, is a cardiovascular risk factor. Chronic exposure to mercury is considered a risk factor for the development of different kinds of diseases, and more recently, it was noted that significant deleterious effect that such exposure causes in the vascular system. In this […]

TOXIC EFFECTS OF MERCURY ON BLOOD PRESSURE AND MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTILITY
Vassallo DV. Efeitos tóxicos de mercúrio sobre a pressão arterial e a contratilidade miocárdica. Salus J Health Sci. [periódico na internet] 2016;2(3):1-10. Disponível: http://www.salusjournal.orgFull Article SummaryAbstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) has exposed humans producing health consequences. Mercury actions are remarkable in this context, due to its high toxicity and high mobility in ecosystems promoting toxicity to many organs and tissues of our body and the health consequences of such exposure […]
