Data on mercury and selenium interaction in the mammalian body are reviewed. Experimental data from studies on rats show that selenium interacts with mercury metabolism and toxicity after exposure to mercuric mercury. Autopsy data from workers exposed to mercury vapor indicate an association between mercury and selenium retention in the central nervous system, suggesting the formation of a mercury-selenium complex. In animal experiments, mercuric mercury interferes with selenium metabolism and toxicity. Available data do not, at present, permit deduction as to whether additional selenium intake in man, exposed to mercury vapor or mercuric mercury, will have any effect, beneficial or adverse.
本文综述了哺乳动物体内汞与硒相互作用的数据。对大鼠的研究实验数据表明，暴露于汞后，硒会与汞的代谢及毒性产生相互作用。接触汞蒸气的工人尸检数据表明，汞与中枢神经系统中硒的潴留之间存在关联，这表明形成了汞 - 硒复合物。在动物实验中，汞会干扰硒的代谢和毒性。目前现有的数据尚无法推断，对于接触汞蒸气或汞的人而言，额外摄入硒是否会产生任何有益或有害的影响。
