Abstract
The concentration of Ca2+-ions in erythrocytes of lead-depleted rats was estimated using the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator fura-2. The lead-depleted animals of the F1 generation showed an elevated Ca2+-concentration, whereas in the P0 generation there was no difference in the Ca2+- concentration between depletion and control group. The elevation of Ca2+- ion concentration of lead-depleted rats could be caused by a reduction in Ca- Mg-ATPase activity in lead-depletion and could possibly lead to a decreased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of erythrocytes.
