title: [Effect of lead on thyroid function].
abstract: Lead in organic and inorganic compounds is a health risk factor leading after high-grade exposure to poisoning. It can accumulate in the organism and exert toxic effects, especially on the haemopoietic system and nervous system. Its action includes damage to cell membranes and disorders of the oxidoreductive processes in the cells. Hypothyroidism occurring in subjects with occupational exposure to lead may evidence a negative effect of the element on thyroid function.
