The reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity of lead: A critical review

Protective effect of Etlingera elatior (torch ginger) extract on lead acetate - induced hepatotoxicity in rats

“…Lead is known to cause oxidative damage in liver, brain, testis and kidney by enhancing lipid peroxidation (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 1989;Hamadouche et al, 2009;Landrigan et al, 2000;Sharma et al, 2010). Lipid hydroxyl peroxides are formed due to oxidation of lipid and cholesterol containing cellular molecules.…”

Characterizing Golden Eagle Risk to Lead and Anticoagulant Rodenticide Exposure: A Review

“…The study included only couples who had at least one pregnancy and the association was limited to men whose wives were <30 years old. A study with similar exposure levels in 251 Italian men did not find an association between lead exposure in men and delayed TTP in their wives (Apostoli et al 2000). There was no association between occupational exposure to lead and low fertility in a multi-country (Belgium, Finland, Italy, and England) study of 638 men exposed occupationally to lead (Joffe et al 2003).…”

“…Several reviews on this topic have been published recently (Landrigan et al 2000;Silbergeld 2003;Silbergeld et al 2000;Steenland and Boffetta 2000). Malcolm and Barnett (1982) studied the causes of death of 754 subjects from a cohort of 1,898 retired lead acid battery workers during the period 1925-1976 in the United Kingdom.…”

Protective Role of Sodium Selenite on the Toxic Effect of Lead Nitrate on Human Erythrocytes

“…In the past century, lead has started to accumulate in environment because of widespread use in industry. For this reason humans and animals were exposed to the lead [15]. It is known that lead is toxic to the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and endocrine systems [16][17][18].…”
