 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Mercury - The interaction of selenium in organisms [Keywords:] mercury Mercury (Hg is a heavy metal, mercury and its compounds on the environment, human and animal health hazards is enormous. Selenium (Se is an essential trace element biology has important biochemical functions, and human and animal health and disease closely related. study found that selenium on mercury have some antagonism in vivo by studying the interaction between mercury and selenium, selenium can learn more about mechanisms of toxicity of mercury, mercury poisoning prevention and treatment to provide useful information. 1, mercury, selenium interaction between the Heavy metals and non-metallic elements can be expressed in the interaction between the antagonistic, additive effect and synergy, for almost all heavy metal selenium are capable of generating antagonism. Most of these effects in the mechanism of protein biosynthesis and sulfur, but also with the formation of metal bound ligands on the latter can be clearly shown between the metal and nonmetal antagonism. In general, the toxic effects of mercury and selenium antagonistic to each other, against each other in Koemen .1972 [1] in the Netherlands, the study found that offshore seals, seals, a large number of mercury accumulation in the liver, but the seals are not abnormal, further seal body found unusually high selenium content, so that selenium may have antagonistic effects of mercury. Caurant F [2] studied a number of trace elements in marine mammals and found that these animals accumulated high levels of mercury and selenium, but the animal itself does not exhibit significant toxicity. Falnoga [3] on the life of mercury exposure in different environments, the body of the deceased in the inspection found that the various organs of the body of the molar ratio of mercury and selenium With the increase of mercury close to 1, and some even higher, close to 2, the correlation between good, which
