ALAD dehydratase with lead binding site
An estimated 40% of lead in blood plasma bound to ALAD
Wetmur, 1994
Enhanced ALA concentration leadsto tautomers which easily formradicals which may attack the cellwall - leading to early cell death. Heme dies about 20% earlier
Hammond and Dietrich, 1990
Because lead affected ALADresulting in overproduction of ALAALA may also affect the functionof GABA but a close similarityin molecular structure
GABA controls leaf tip growth, and brain development. Functionchanges with time, so growing tips and infants differentially affected from adults
Herlenius and Lagercrantz, 2001Ben-Ari1, 2001
Certain portions of the brain more greatly affected: prefrontal cortex: problem solvinghippocampus (memory)cerebellum (motor coordination, body movement, posture and balance)
