Microbial Mechanisms of Methylmercury Metabolism in Humans

University of Rochester·interventional·Posted Aug 19, 2019·Updated Oct 4, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Tuna fish and prebiotic for Mercury--Toxicology. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how the bacteria in your gut can improve the break-down and de-toxification of non-harmful levels of a naturally occurring form of mercury (methylmercury) that comes with eating fish. This research could help scientists and doctors understand whether or not mercury in fish that we are likely to eat poses any concern for the health of people.
