متن کاملComparative observations on inorganic and organic lead neurotoxicity.
Environmental and occupational exposure to lead still generates concern, and recent studies have focused such concern on the role of body burden of lead during the fetal/neonatal period, especially in the genesis of disturbed central nervous system development. This discussion provides some comparative observations on the neurotoxicity of inorganic and organic lead species. The characteristics ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Heavy Metal Neurotoxicity: Lead and Manganese
It has been estimated that 1 billion people in the world suffer from some form of disability [1]. Of the top 20 health conditions resulting in disability, one quarter are neurological [1]. Furthermore, it has recently been estimated that the global prevalence of intellectual disability may be as high as 1% [2]. Additionally, mental disability prevalence rates were twice as high in developing co...
