Journal ArticleDOI
Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity and other parameters of copper status in rats ingesting lead acetate
TL;DR: It appears likely that the observed decrease in SOD in young rats is caused indirectly by a lead-induced copper deficiency rather than by a direct inhibitory effect of lead.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of dietary factors on blood and tissue lead concentrations and lead toxicity.
Augusta A. Mylroie,Augusta A. Mylroie,Lornold Moore,Lornold Moore,Uthman Erogbogbo,Uthman Erogbogbo +5 more
TL;DR: If the lack of correlation between blood lead, tissue lead concentrations, lead toxicity, and lead exposure observed in rats occurs also in humans, then blood lead would not be adequate as the sole criterion in screening human populations for lead exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic interactions between lead and copper in rats ingesting lead acetate
TL;DR: Although Pb ingestion resulted in decreased concentration of Cu in blood and tissue, additional dietary Cu had no effect on Pb levels and can be assumed to be the direct result of a toxic effect of Pb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lead-exposure of neonatal rats through maternal milk : A confounded model.
TL;DR: Lead-exposed neonatal rats are frequently used as a model for plumbism in children and coprophagy and the high content of Pb in the dam's feces must be taken into consideration when estimating exposure levels in pups receiving Pb through the lactating dam.
Further studies on the effects of dietary copper deficiency on rat pancreas
TL;DR: There was no significant decrease in CuSOD, but an unexpected increase in MnSOD activity by week 9 in rats fed Cu-deficient diet, and Cu deficiency was less pronounced in the present study.
