Eryptosis in lead-exposed workers.
Eryptosis is a physiological phenomenon in which old and damaged erythrocytes are removed from circulation. Erythrocytes incubated with lead have exhibited major eryptosis. In the present work we found evidence of high levels of eryptosis in lead exposed workers possibly via oxidation. Blood samples were taken from 40 male workers exposed to lead (mean blood lead concentration 64.8μg/dl) and no...
متن کاملBlood lead levels and anemia in lead exposed workers.
The effects of lead on haematological parameters were studied in 51 occupationally exposed individuals comprising of 27 lead furnace workers, 24 lead pellet handlers and 20 healthy age and service matched controls. Blood lead levels were estimated by atomic absorption spectrometer AAS-180-80 and haematological parameters by Technicon H.1 system. The lead furnace workers had highest blood lead l...
متن کاملCorrelation between plasma 5-aminolevulinic acid concentrations and indicators of oxidative stress in lead-exposed workers.
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a heme precursor accumulated in acute intermittent porphyria and lead poisoning, undergoes metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidation at physiological pH to yield reactive free radical species (O2., HO., and ALA.). We analyzed the relationships between plasma ALA concentrations, blood concentrations of lead, protoporphyrin IX (PP-IX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and methemog...
متن کاملLead-elevated activity of xanthine oxidase in lead-exposed workers.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to explore the connection between lead toxicity and the activity of xanthine oxidase (XO). In addition, we indicated the uric acid (UA) and creatinine levels and concentration of erythrocyte malondialdehyde (MDA) to estimate oxidative stress intensity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The examined group consisted of 125 healthy male employees of zinc and lead ...
متن کاملNeurophysiological studies on workers exposed to lead.
Nerve conduction and somatosensory evoked potential studies were undertaken on 46 workers exposed to a combination of organic and inorganic lead. In addition electroencephalograms were carried out on 20 of the workers; the results were compared with those obtained for workers not exposed to lead. The workers exposed to lead had a mean blood lead concentration of 2.35 mumol/l (48.7 micrograms/10...
