The control rats were administered distilled water. On day 19, the placental weight, overall weight, size and tail length of fetal rats, mercury content and S100B level in the placenta were determined using Western blot analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with the control, mercury exposure at 2.0 mg\/kg.d significantly reduced placental weight and fetal development, resulting in reduced fetal weight, size and tail length, while zinc pre\u2010feeding increased placental weight and other fetal developmental parameters. Compared with mercury exposure, co\u2010feeding with zinc significantly reduced mercury\u2010induced injury in the fetal rats. S100B and mercury content levels were significantly elevated in rats maternally exposed to methylmercury chloride, compared with the unexposed control, while co\u2010feeding with methylmercury chloride and zinc sulfate significantly reduced S100B and mercury levels in the placenta.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Maternal exposure to mercury results in increased S100B in the placenta. Zinc sulfate feeding could reduce S100B and mercury levels, thereby protecting the rats from mercury damage. S100B level may be used to measure the antagonism between zinc and mercury during pregnancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.13175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,8]],"date-time":"2016-12-08T05:42:44Z","timestamp":1481175764000},"page":"73-77","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Zinc
