TL;DR: The induction of metallothionein by lead was not due to an increase in intracellular zinc levels, as zinc uptake was unaffected by the presence of lead acetate in the media.

TL;DR: The results obtained indicate the beneficial effects of low-esterified pectin on lead-induced thyroid injury in rats and signs of improved thyroid histomorphology were registered.

TL;DR: Toxic effect of metal cations on female reproduction and gonadal functions was studied in this paper, where adult synchronized female rats were treated intraperitoneally with lead acetate and cadmium acetate separately and in combination (0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg body wt).
Abstract: Toxic effect of metal cations on female reproduction and gonadal functions was studied. Adult synchronized female rats were treated intraperitoneally with lead acetate and cadmium acetate separately and in combination (0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg body wt) for 15 days. The metabolizing enzymes (17beta-hydroxy steroid oxidoreductase and UDP glucoronyl transferase) activities decreased with increasing dose showing significant change compared to control. Also, significant decrease in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) content was found after the treatment. Displacement of zinc bound to metallothionein was more in cadmium treated rats compared to other groups. In all these parameters, treatment in combination of lead and cadmium showed intermediate results indicating some kind of competition between the two metals. But the histological studies showed that combined treatment caused more cytotoxic effect than cadmium and lead alone. These results indicated that metal cations tested did have a direct inhibitory effect on metabolizing enzyme activities.

TL;DR: The oral feeding of minced fresh garlic during intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate or cadmium chloride, daily for 6 weeks significantly decreased the accumulation of these toxic metals and prevented the metal sensitive biochemical alterations in blood, liver and kidney.
Abstract: Garlic (Allium sativum L., Liliaceae) was investigated for its potential to prevent the accumulation of lead or cadmium, major environmental pollutants, and to reduce their toxic effects in rats. The oral feeding of minced fresh garlic during intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate or cadmium chloride, daily for 6 weeks significantly decreased the accumulation of these toxic metals and prevented the metal sensitive biochemical alterations in blood, liver and kidney. The ability of garlic to provide glutathione, biosynthesize metallothionein or similar protein, and its antioxidant properties appear to protect against potential oxidative damage to tissues by lead or cadmium. The regular intake of garlic may be beneficial in reducing the toxic effects of these heavy metals in the exposed population.

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient and inexpensive method for producing lead monoxide from impure lead sulfate bearing materials such as recycled battery mud is provided comprising: (a) reacting said material with an ammonium carbonate solution to convert lead sulfates to lead carbonate; (b) decomposing the lead carbonates to produce impure led monoxide; (c) reacting the impure monoxide with an acidic ammonium acetate solution, and (d) reacting ammonium hydroxide with the lead acetate to form lead hydroxides; and (e) dehyd
Abstract: TITLE: PRODUCTION OF LEAD MONOXIDE FROM LEAD SULFATE WITH ACIDICAMMONIUM ACETATE ABSTRACT: An efficient and inexpensive method for producing lead monoxide from impure lead sulfate bearing materials such as recycled battery mud is provided comprising: (a) reacting said material with an ammonium carbonate solution to convert lead sulfate to lead carbonate; (b) decomposing the lead carbonate to produce impure lead monoxide; (c) reacting said impure lead monoxide with an acidic ammonium acetate solution to form a lead acetate solution; (d) reacting ammonium hydroxide with the lead acetate solution to form lead hydroxide; and (e) dehydrating the lead hydroxide to produce lead monoxide.
