Abstract excerpt
In this study, the role of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) variants in lead susceptibility was examined. The study subjects comprised 223 male workers, and the relationship between their blood lead level and erythrocyte ALAD activity or plasma/urine delta-aminolevulinic acid level was studied. Leukocyte specimens from 11 workers, whose erythrocyte ALAD activities were as low as one-fifth that of the...
