Abstract
Administering lead acetate in drinking water to adult male rats resulted in an elevated Pb content in blood and brain during 11 subsequent days. The brain and blood Pb contents were proportional to each other although the interdependency changed according to the cumulative dose and equilibration period. The permeability of the blood-brain barrier towards inorganic Pb may be dose-dependent and saturable with high doses of the metal.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
