| Abstract | BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The effect of short-term occupational exposure to lead on erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity and serum cholesterol was studied in 40 male workers of a lead and zinc foundry. All parameters were measured just before employment and after 172 | 21.3 days of work. Genetic deficiency of erythrocyte G6PD was observed in 5140 subjects. Among G6PD normal subjects, increases in enzyme activity followed any change (increase or decrease) in blood lead. At the pre-employment test, serum cholesterol parameters did not show any correlation with G6PD activity or blood lead, and they were not affected by exposure. Cholesterol values observed among all the G6PD-deficient subjects were within the range of the rest of the study population. |
