Subchronic lead feeding study in male rats and micropigs.

29 Sep 2009 This study compared the lead uptake from contaminated test soil of known lead concentration with a soluble lead acetate standard, which was considered to be 100% bioavailable. This study also compared the lead bioavailability from this ... Read more...

High bone matrix turnover predicts blood levels of lead among perimenopausal women.

29 Sep 2009 Skeletal bone is the primary endogenous source of lead in circulating blood, particularly under conditions of accelerated bone turnover and mineral loss, such as pregnancy and postmenopausal osteoporosis. We studied the influence of bone turnover ... Read more...

Hunting with lead: association between blood lead levels and wild game consumption.

8 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Wild game hunting is a popular activity in many regions of the United States. Recently, the presence of lead fragments in wild game meat, presumably from the bullets or shot used for hunting, has raised concerns about health risks from ... Read more...
