The results indicated that Pb2+ (3. 1-25. 0 μmol.L -1 ) inhibited 3 H-DL-Glu binding in a concentration-dependent manner . Scatchard analysis further revealed that at a concentration of 6. 3 μmol.L-1 Pb2 + interfered with binding mainly through significantly decreasing the density of binding sites. This finding provided an important insight into Pb2+ -induced impairments in learning and memory previously documented in children and in experimental animals chronically exposed to Pb^(2+)展开更多

In the in vivo study,pregnant rats ingested ad libitum fluorinated drinking water (5, 15, 50 ppm F ) during their gestation and lactation. It was shown that the AChE activities of the SPM and peripheral RBCs in maternal rats exposed 5 ~ 50 ppm F for 60 days were elevated significantly by 30. 0 ~ 67. 6 % and 12. 5 ~ 31. 9 % in a dose-dependent manner, respectively. The AChE activities of their offspring 80 days after birth were also increaased (8. 7 ~ 28. 7 % for SPM and20. 6 ~ 32. 4 % for RBC). In contrast, the AChE activities of SPM in vitro were inhibited by 5. 0~ 50 .0 mmol F /L treatment in a time-and dose dependent manner. Analaysis with the Hanes plots suggested that the enzymesubstrate kinetics are consistent with a mixed type ofinhibition.展开更多
