Oxidative stress thus contributes to lead neurotoxicity but other pathogenic mechanisms are also involved.
Sapa that was produced in lead pots was rich in lead acetate, a sweet substance also called sugar of lead or sugar of Saturn, which contributed to lead poisoning among the Roman aristocracy.
Furthermore, there were no lead-related industrial activities in the vicinity of our field sites, so these sources were not likely to have contributed to lead exposure in the vultures captured for this study.
Candles with a lead metal core contribute to lead in the home (Nriagu and Kim 2000; van Alphen 1999).
These areas can be examined more carefully to better characterize the local factors that contribute to lead exposure.
The Chinese government banned lead in gasoline in the year 2000; however, some resuspension of lead-containing dust from the roadside soil may have contributed to lead levels in cord blood.
Lead exposure in the general population (including children) occurs primarily through ingestion; however, inhalation also contributes to lead body burden and may be the major contributor for workers in lead-related occupations [ 10].
Leaded gasoline was eventually banned in 1999 in China and was gradually phased out over the 2000s; however, other environmental sources continue to contribute to lead exposure in China.
Other henna, called compound or black henna, contains metallic salts and other chemicals that can not only damage the hair, but contribute to lead poisoning, cause lesions or blistering of the scalp and contacted skin, and contribute to cancer.
On the basis of available evidence, we hypothesized that lead-induced PS externalization in erythrocytes promotes erythrophagocytosis by renal tubular cells, contributing to lead-associated kidney damage.
It is still unclear whether this altered vascular reactivity can contribute to lead-induced hypertension.
