Abstract
Na-K-ATPase and Ca-Mg-ATPase activity of erythrocyte membranes from lead-depleted rats were determined. In P0 generation there was no difference in activity of Na-K-ATPase and Ca-Mg-ATPase between control and depletion rats. In contrast to this, in F1 generation lead-depleted rats showed reduced activity of both enzymes. Possibly, these changes of Na-K-ATPase and Ca-Mg-ATPase activity cause the reduction of the mean corpuscular cell volume (MCV) observed in former lead depletion studies.
