| Resumen |
The mechanism of increased osmotic resistance in red blood cells in lead workers was studied by examining 19 lead refining workers and 18 controls for red cell count, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, blood and urine lead concentrations, urine coproporphyrin and delta-aminolaevulinic acid (DALA), osmotic resistance of red cells, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity in serum, and cholesterol content and cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio of the red cell membrane. Osmotic resistance of red cells, red cell membrane cholesterol content, blood and urine lead, urine coproporphyrin and urine DALA were higher in lead workers than in controls. In lead workers, close correlations were found between osmotic resistance and blood lead concentration, osmotic resistance, LCAT activity and red cell membrane cholesterol. |
