Abstract
Abstract The effects of lead (Pb) exposure, a major human health threat, on the bone, teeth, and the possible underlying mechanisms are reviewed. The effects of environmental lead on the bone, mouth, and teeth such as osteoporosis and dental caries were demonstrated, which are reported to be due to increased production of osteoclast, bone resorption, oxidative stress, changes in the circulating D3 level, disruption of mineralization, delay fracture healing, effect on Ca2+ metabolism, inflammation, and affecting humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Therefore, reducing environmental lead in workplaces to prevent its harmful effects on the bone and teeth is needed.
期刊介绍:
Toxin Reviews provides an international forum for publishing state-of-the-art reviews and guest-edited single topic special issues covering the multidisciplinary research in the area of toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms. Our aim is to publish reviews that are of broad interest and importance to the toxinology as well as other life science communities. Toxin Reviews aims to encourage scientists to highlight the contribution of toxins as research tools in deciphering molecular and cellular mechanisms, and as prototypes of therapeutic agents. Reviews should emphasize the role of toxins in enhancing our fundamental understanding of life sciences, protein chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, clinical toxinology and evolution. Prominence will be given to reviews that propose new ideas or approaches and further the knowledge of toxinology.
