Abstract excerpt
Lead is an environmental hazard with great public health concern and has been known to inhibit delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) activity involved in the heme biosynthetic pathway. The study aimed to investigate the influence of ALAD polymorphism (G177C) on retention of Pb-B levels and ALAD activity on occupationally exposed lead workers. In the present study, we enrolled 561 lead exposed and 317...
