Different Effects of Serum Iron Status on the Relationship between Blood Lead and Zinc Protoporphyrin in Lead Workers in Korea

This study was conducted to determine whether there was a different toxic effect of lead on heme synthesis by serum iron status in 360 lead workers in Korea. We examined the association between blood lead (PbB) and zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) in whole blood according to the level of serum iron in low...

Zusammenfassung:This study was conducted to determine whether there was a different toxic effect of lead on heme synthesis by serum iron status in 360 lead workers in Korea. We examined the association between blood lead (PbB) and zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) in whole blood according to the level of serum iron in low to moderate lead-exposed workers in 1997-1998. Serum iron levels (FeS) were divided into two groups： iron-deficient group (serum iron
