Conclusions: Since the glutathione-dependent system was repeatedly shown to be involved in the metabolism of thimerosal decomposition products, the observed association may be of functional relevance.

Excerpt:
“Additionally, post-vaccination mercury levels were significantly higher in preterm infants as compared with term infants.”
Excerpt:
Results: …Within this group we also found an elevated risk for the following disorders: autism (RR 7.6, 95% Cl = 1.8-31.5), non organic sleep disorders (RR 5.0, 95% Cl = 1.6-15.9}, and speech disorders (RR 2.1, 95% (1=1.1-4.0)…
Conclusion: This analysis suggests that high exposure to ethyl mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines in the first month of life increases the risk of subsequent development of neurologic development impairment, but not of neurologic degenerative or renal impairment. Further confirmatory studies are needed.

” These results suggest that the IHg may be responsible for the increase in reactive glia.”
Excerpts:
“These data clearly indicate that brain half-life is considerably longer than blood half-life in the monkey under conditions of chronic dosing.”
