Title: Plasma catecholamine activity in chronic lead poisoning

Journal Article · · Veterinary and Human Toxicology; (USA)
OSTI ID:7189610

Plasma catecholamines where measured in 15 children with chronic lead poisoning and 15 matched controls by radioimmunassay. The data suggest that plasma catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinphrine) were significantly elevated in chronic lead poisoning. Plasma catecholamine elevation may well be important in the clinical finding of hyperactivity and hypertension associated with chronic lead poisoning.
