Background Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, lead is still used worldwide
in several applications, especially in industry. Both environmental and industrial lead …

The binding of calcium and magnesium ions to proteins is crucial for regulating heart
contraction. However, other divalent cations, including xenobiotics, can accumulate in the …

Cardiovascular toxicity of lead (Pb) manifests primarily as an effect on blood pressure and
eventual increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. Therefore, we …

Background The harmful effects following the release of nanomaterials into environment are
of great concern today. Purpose In this study, subacute effect due to co-exposure to low …

We investigated the cardiovascular effects of lead exposure, emphasising its direct action on
myocardial contractility. Male Wistar rats were sorted randomly into two groups: control (Ct) …

A moderate degree of lead intoxication was observed in male rats after repeated
intraperitoneal injections with two doses of lead acetate three times a week during 5 (12.5 …

Lead (Pb) induces adverse effects when it chronically accumulates in the body, including
effects on the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Wistar rats were exposed to lead acetate …

The study investigated the dose-dependent effects of lead acetate on the atrial and
ventricular myocardium, as well as on hematological parameters in young male rats under …

Outbred male rats were repeatedly injected intraperitoneally two-level sub-lethal doses of
lead acetate and/or cadmium chloride solutions 3 times a week during 6 weeks. The animals …

Outbred male rats were repeatedly injected IP with sub-lethal doses of lead acetate 3 times
a week during 5 weeks. They developed an explicit, even if moderate, lead intoxication …
