Lead level in seminal plasma may affect semen quality for men without occupational exposure to lead
BACKGROUND Infertility affects approximately 10-15% of reproductive-age couples. Poor semen quality contributes to about 25% of infertile cases. Resulting from the direct effect on testicular function or hormonal alterations, heavy metals exposure has been related to impaired semen quality. The objective of this study was to assess the level of lead in the seminal plasma in men without occupati...
متن کاملOxygen toxicity related to exposure to lead.
We evaluated superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) and glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9) activities in the erythrocytes of lead-exposed and nonexposed workers from distinct industries localized in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Concentrations of either lead or protoporphyrin IX, or both, in blood were used to indicate the extent of exposure. In all cases, values for superoxide dismutase were s...

inorganic materials is an important factor in iron bioavailability. From another perspective, studies in the laboratory of Alvin Crumbliss have drawn attention to the use of iron by microbes in the soil and in our bodies. Iron is acquired by microbial organisms by the excretion of iron-specific complexing agents known as siderophores. Crumbliss and colleagues have studied the kinetics and mecha...

Background: In this analysis we applied a regression based transmission disequilibrium test to the binary trait presence or absence of Kofendred Personality Disorder in the Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 (GAW14) simulated dataset and determined the power and type I error rate of the method at varying map densities and sample sizes. To conduct this transmission disequilibrium test, the logit trans...
متن کاملLead exposure, interactions and toxicity: food for thought.
The recognition that nutritional status plays a role in altering susceptibility to lead absorption and toxicity has triggered the development of this review. There has been a significant increase worldwide in awareness and concern about the effects of lead on human health and the environment over the last two decades. Both occupational and environmental exposures to lead remain a serious proble...
