Placental and stillbirth tissue lead concentrations in occupationally exposed women.
The lead values in maternal and infant blood, in placental tissue, and in stillbirth liver, kidney, and rib- and skull-bones have been determined in samples from the Stoke-on-Trent area. The lead values in antenatal blood and placenta increase with occupational exposure; liver and kidney stillbirth lead values are lower than those of much older children and rib-bone lead values from stillbirths...
متن کاملBlood lead levels of a population group not occupationally exposed to lead in Singapore.
A survey was conducted between 1995 and 1997 to assess the impact of introduction of unleaded petrol and other public health measures on the blood lead level of the population. The geometric mean blood lead level of 269 government employees as determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy, was 66.0 microg/l, much lower than that recorded before introduction of lead-free petrol. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Androgen and Progesterone Levels in Women with Preeclampsia
Background: Preeclampsia along with its complications seems to be one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous studies, the pathology of preeclampsia has not yet been fully elucidated. This study, therefore, determines whether maternal serum levels of androgen and progesterone are higher in patients with preeclampsia than in matched control subjects. Methods: Se...
متن کاملThyroxine and Free Thyroxine Levels in Workers Occupationally Exposed to Inorganic Lead
BACKGROUND The effects of lead exposure on thyroid function are unclear. METHODS Serum thyroxine (T4) was evaluated among 137 lead-exposed workers and 83 non-exposed workers. Free thyroxine (FT4) was evaluated among a subset of these workers. Exposure metrics included blood lead level (BLL), which reflects recent exposure, zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP), a marker of intermediate-duration lead expo...
متن کاملOxidative damage of DNA in subjects occupationally exposed to lead.
BACKGROUND Exposure to lead (Pb) in environmental and occupational settings continues to be a serious public health problem and may pose an elevated risk of genetic damage. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the level of oxidative stress and DNA damage in subjects occupationally exposed to lead. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied a population of 78 male workers exposed to lead in a...
