DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2020.114901
Abstract: Lead intoxication can generate pro-inflammatory conditions that have been proposed to be associated with cell injuries and oxidative stress. The pro-inflammatory state can participate in the pathophysiology of this toxicity to generate immune response dysfunctions,… read more here.
