title: [Activity of PZ-peptidase in blood serum of workers from a pesticide dust production factory].
abstract: In 31 subjects with an occupational exposure to dust pesticides the levels of PZ-peptidase, alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-2-macroglobulin were determined. A decrease of PZ-peptidase and an increase of alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-2-macroglobulin were found in comparison with a control group of 30 healthy volunteers.
