Blood lead, ethnic origin, and lead exposure.
A survey of blood lead concentrations is reported in a group of 199 young Walsall children (3-6 years of age). The geometric mean blood lead concentration was 0.47 mumol/l (range 0.2-1.6 mumol/l). There were no significant differences in blood lead concentrations between groups of children with different ages, sex, ethnic origin, or environment.
متن کاملOccupational lead exposure and blood pressure.
BACKGROUND To assess the relation between occupational lead exposure and elevated blood pressure with consideration of a possible confounding effect by noise exposure. MATERIALS AND METHOD Some 112 male and 110 female workers at two lead battery manufacturing factories were recruited for this 1992 study in Taiwan. Study participants received regular physical examinations, including standard m...
متن کاملNeurohumoral blood pressure regulation in lead exposure.
Previous human studies demonstrated that lead exposure may modify the metabolism of catecholamines and of hormones controlled by the hypothalamo-pituitary axis and may affect the kallikrein-kinin system. This paper reports unpublished data on the plasma renin activity of lead-exposed workers; these results are in agreement with those of previous human and experimental studies suggesting that th...
متن کاملPeripheral Blood Signatures of Lead Exposure
BACKGROUND Current evidence indicates that even low-level lead (Pb) exposure can have detrimental effects, especially in children. We tested the hypothesis that Pb exposure alters gene expression patterns in peripheral blood cells and that these changes reflect dose-specific alterations in the activity of particular pathways. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING Using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0...
متن کاملBlood lead and haemoglobin in lead absorption.
a low haemoglobin but none had symptoms or signs that were likely to be due to lead absorption. A further i8 men had haemoglobins of 89% (13 g./Ioo ml.) or less. None was thought to be low due to lead absorption. The absence of symptoms, signs, and low haemoglobins in association with relatively high blood leads is unlikely to be due to errors in blood lead or haemoglobin estimation. Alternativ...
