[Evaluation of iron metabolism in workers exposed to led compounds in a tile glaze factory 1981-1982].

The investigations have been aimed at an estimation of the iron balance in lead-exposed workers. The investigations were carried out in a group of 20 men producing lead glazes and a control group of 23 Medical Academy students. Lead concentration was found to be remarkably higher in the exposed group, as compared to the controls. In the control group 26% of subjects exhibited lead concentration within 40.5 micrograms/dm3. The obtained results of D-aminolevulinic acid concentrations in the exposed patients' urine did not differ from the controls. Toxic effects of lead on haem synthesis resulted in significantly higher concentration of iron and transferin saturation percent as compared to controls. The excessive concentration of lead found in the urine of 26% of students points to non-professional exposure.

The interactions of copper, lead and ethanol in rats: effects on some biochemical parameters of blood.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the action of copper on some biochemical parameters of blood of Wistar rats exposed to a combined action of lead and ethanol. The animals received lead in drinking water (500 micrograms/ml) for 6 weeks, followed by copper (12 micrograms/ml) for 2 weeks. During the last 108 h of the experiments the rats received every 12 h an intragastric dose of 5g/kg of ethanol. In rats receiving copper together with ethanol the blood levels of copper, iron and lead were higher than in the rats receiving copper alone, the total and latent iron binding capacity were depressed, the transferrin saturation with iron was increased and the ceruloplasmin content--decreased. Copper protected rats against the action of lead on the following hematologic parameters: hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, iron concentration, total and latent iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation index, copper concentration and ceruloplasmin activity. Ethanol administration counteracts the protective effect of copper on iron concentration, total and latent iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation index and ceruloplasmin serum content.
