A member asked:
How can lead poisoning affect erythrocytes at a cellular level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heme synthesis...: Lead inhibits the body's ability to make hemoglobin by interfering with several enzymatic steps in the heme pathway. Specifically, lead decreases heme biosynthesis by inhibiting d-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (alad) and ferrochelatase activity.
