General description
Mercury (quicksilver) is a rare chemical element found most commonly in cinnabar (HgS). It is widely employed in the production of industrial chemicals like mercuric (I) and mercuric (II) compounds, because of two oxidation states (+1 and +2). Additionally, it is also used in the synthesis of coordination complexes of mercury as well as organomercury compounds. Mercury(II) salts are used in the preparation of industrially important chemical reagents such as Millon′s base, Nessler′s reagent (potassium tetraiodomercurate), one-dimensional polymer (salts of HgNH2+)n), etc.

Journal of hypertension, 32(7), 1488-1494 (2014-05-09)
The adipocytokines, leptin, adiponectin, and interleukin-6, which stimulate liver C-reactive protein (CRP) production, are regarded as potential candidate intermediates between adipose tissue and overweight-induced hypertension. We examined the associations between leptin, adiponectin, and CRP levels with both prevalent and 5-year

Mercury (Hg) is an anthropogenic pollutant that is toxic to wildlife and humans, but the response of remote ecosystems to globally distributed Hg is elusive. Here, we use DNA extracted from a dated sediment core to infer the response of
Toxicology, 234(3), 145-156 (2007-04-06)
Mercury has been a known as a toxic substance for centuries. Whilst the clinical features of acute mercury poisoning have been well described, chronic low dose exposure to mercury remains poorly characterised and its potential role in various chronic disease
