Lead as an inductor of changes in the citrate transport to rat brain synaptic mitochondria

J Waśkiewicz et al. Folia Neuropathol. 1997.

Abstract

The aim of the experiments presented here was to discern whether prolonged consumption of leaden water, that imitates environmental exposure, affects citrate transport to synaptic mitochondria. Our results indicate that during chronic lead intoxication both the velocity and the affinity of citrate transport to synaptic mitochondria decreased affecting the operation of Krebs cycle and consequently energetic processes in these mitochondria.
