Renal lead excretion.

Acute effects of lead on renal electrolyte excretion and plasma renin activity.

Acute Effects of Lead on Renal Electrolyte Excretion and Plasma Renin Activity. MOUW, D. R., VANDER, A. J., Cox, J., AND FLEISCHER, N. (1978). Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 46,435447. Since lead accumulates in the kidney and interferes with the renal transport of amino acids and glucose, we tested the hypothesis that acute doses of lead also reduce tubular electrolyte reabsorption and alter the sec...

Vitamin C modulates lead excretion in rats

Lead, one of the most toxic heavy metals, takes longer time to be excreted from the body than other heavy metals. The purpose of this study is, by measuring lead excretion via urine and feces, to find out the effect of vitamin C in lead chelation. Thirty-six rats were randomly assorted into four groups. All 33 rats except for the control group were administered with lead, before orally administ...

Biliary excretion of lead in the rat.

Studies have been made in the rat of the elimination of 210Pb in the bile after the intravenous injection of ioo ,ug. of lead. Four groups of rats were used: in two the bile was drained by cannulation of the bile duct, and in the other two the bile flow to the duodenum was interrupted by ligation or division of the bile duct. The radioactivity of the bile, of the intestinal walls, and of the in...

Urinary Amino-acetone Excretion in Lead Workers.

Urinary amino-acetone concentrations were determined in a group of 51 persons with industrial exposure to lead and the findings compared with those obtained from a control group of 27 persons having no exposure to lead.A good correlation was found between delta-aminolaevulinic acid and amino-acetone excretion in the control group but this correlation was not so well defined in the lead-exposed ...
