The Effect of Lead on Erythrocyte Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity in Rats
2014
Biotechnology and Health Sciences
Exposure to lead damages the biological systems, developing oxidative stress. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) produces NADPH in pentose phosphate pathway. This molecule protects tissues from oxidative stress. There are conflicting reports in the literatures of the effects of lead on G6PD activity. Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of lead on erythrocyte G6PD activity in rats given lead acetate in their drinking water. Materials and Methods: In this
