Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glutathione-S-transferase gene (GST) polymorphisms can result in variable ability of these enzymes to remove electrophilic substrates. We investigated whether the GSTP1 Val105 and GSTM1 deletion polymorphisms modify the lead-cognitive function association. METHODS: We used repeated measures analysis to compare the association between cumulative lead biomarkers-bone lead measured using K-shell X-Ray...
