Exp Toxicol Pathol. 2008 Sep 2. [Epub ahead of print] Gender-selective toxicity of thimerosal.http://www..ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/18771903? dopt=AbstractPlu s Although the thimerosal levels used were very high, as we were originally only trying to determine MTD, it was completely unexpected to observe a difference of the MTD between male and female mice. Thus, our studies, although not directly addressing the controversy surrounding thimerosal and autism, and still preliminary due to small numbers of mice examined, provide, nevertheless, the first report of gender-selective toxicity of thimerosal and indicate that any future studies of thimerosal toxicity should take into consideration
