Interactive Effects between Chronic Lead Exposure and the Homeostatic Iron Regulator Transport <i>HFE</i> Polymorphism on the Human Red Blood Cell Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

Interactive Effects between Chronic Lead Exposure and the Homeostatic Iron Regulator Transport <i>HFE</i> Polymorphism on the Human Red Blood Cell Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

Research has shown that long-term exposure to lead harms the hematological system. The homeostatic iron regulator <i>HFE</i> (hemochromatosis) mutation, which has been shown to affect iron absorption and iron overload, is hypothesized to be related to lead intoxication in vulnerable indi...
