To elucidate the sex difference in porphyrin metabolic disorders induced by lead exposure, we determined plasma delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), urinary ALA, and urinary coproporphyrin (CP) in 298 lead-exposed workers (160 males and 138 females), and compared the data thus obtained. The use of fluor

Workers exposed to lead may benefit from a calcium-rich diet, since calcium competes with lead for intestinal absorption. We studied the effect of dietary calcium on blood lead levels. We assessed blood lead levels, dietary intake of calcium, smoking and alcohol consumption, and anthropometric and d
The relationship between the activities of both pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase (Py5N) and delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALA-D) in erythrocytes and the concentration of lead in blood was investigated in the mice which were given ad libitum a drinking water containing lead of 10 to 500 ppm, for 30 da
