Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lead inhibits the enzymes in heme biosynthesis, mainly reducing δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity, which could be an available biomarker. The aim of this study was to detect the threshold of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity reduced by lead exposure. METHODS: We collected data on 121 lead workers and 117 non-exposed workers when annual health examinations were performed. ALAD...
