Two experiments were conducted to study the metabolism and tissue accumulation and depletion of dietary Pb in sheep. In Exp. 1, a feeding trial, 33 wethers, 56 kg initially, were assigned randomly to two dietary treatments: .25% Ca plus 1,000 ppm Pb or .50% Ca plus 1,000 ppm Pb. Supplemental Ca and Pb were supplied as reagent grade calcium carbonate or reagent grade lead acetate. The experiment was divided into two phases of 75 and 180 d; during the first phase, diets contained 1,000 ppm supplemental Pb and during the second phase, diets contained 3 ppm Pb. Calcium level remained constant within treatments throughout both phases. Sheep were slaughtered at various intervals during both phases and tissue samples taken. Lead increased in all tissues during the accumulation period and decreased during the depletion period; however, kidney was the only tissue in which Pb concentration declined to control values by 180 d. Dietary Ca reduced (P less than .05) the concentration of Pb deposited in liver, but not in other tissues. Interactions of dietary Ca and Pb on tissue concentration of various minerals occurred. In Exp. 2, a balance trial, 27 wethers, 53 kg initially, were allotted randomly to four treatments in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement. Diets contained either 0 or 1,000 ppm supplemental Pb as reagent grade lead acetate and .25 or .50% total Ca with supplemental Ca from calcium carbonate. Increasing dietary Pb increased (P less than .05) percentage of Pb retained and increased (P less than .01) whole blood Pb concentration (1.0 vs 1.42 micrograms/ml).  相似文献

In a dairy herd of 21 cows which were on pasture during the day at the end of May 2002, four eight years old cows were suddenly inappetent and showed severe diarrhoea consisting of black discolorate feces. A few days after the onset of the disease, three affected cows exhibited neurological disorders. These cows were admitted to the IInd Medical Clinic of the University for Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. Following clinical signs were observed: circulatory weakness, anorexia, atony of the rumen, diarrhoea and in accordance with acute lead poisoning typical signs of the central nervous system. One cow died and the other two animals were euthanized. Results of blood testing were anaemia, basophil spotting of erythrocytes, increase of liver enzymes and CK, hypocalcaemia, decrease of potassium and phosphate. The cerebrospinal fluid of two cows showed increased CK-, LDH- and AST-values. The lead contents of whole blood samples were between 0.486 and 0.928 mg/kg, of liver samples 13.3 to 114.4 mg/kg, of kidney samples 172.2 to 448 mg/kg and of rumen content 59 mg/kg fresh matter. At necropsy, enteritis, liver fluke disease and severe interstitial and alveolar pulmonary emphysema were found. Pathohistologically typical ischaemic necrosis of neurons predominantly at the tips of the gyri, disseminated petechial hemorrhages and moderate diffuse neovascularisation, but no acid-fast intranucleolar inclusion bodies in the renal tubules were observed. As causative agent of the acute lead poisoning a residue on combustion, taken up by the cows on the pasture, was confirmed. The ash residue was formed by combustion of three tires which contained 450 g heavy weights of 96.5% lead for wheel balance. The lead content of the ash residue was between 2.9 and 28 g/kg dry matter.  相似文献

The effect of thiamin on the organ distribution of lead was evaluated in CD-1 mice exposed intragastrically or intraperitoneally to a single dose of lead acetate (100 micrograms) containing 100 microCi lead 203. They were treated with either thiamin (25 or 50 mg/kg body weight), calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CaEDTA) (50 mg/kg body weight), or combinations of thiamin and CaEDTA. The whole body retention and the organ distribution of lead 203 varied depending upon the route of lead administration, dose of thiamin and the specific treatment combination. Thiamin (25 or 50 mg/kg) treatment increased the whole body retention of both intragastric and intraperitoneal lead by approximately 10% in each instance. Calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, either alone or in combination with thiamin (50 mg/kg) reduced the whole body retention of lead by as much as 14% regardless of route of lead exposure. The relative retention of lead by the liver, kidney and spleen was greater in mice exposed to lead by the intragastric route. Regardless of route, CaEDTA in the combined treatment reduced the relative retention of lead in both the liver and kidney, whereas thiamin alone only reduced the retention of lead in the kidney. The results of this study indicate that thiamin in combination with CaEDTA alters the distribution and retention of lead in a manner which may have therapeutic application as it relates to chelation therapy.  相似文献

Lead acetate was fed to 4 groups of 2 horses each to study chronic lead intoxication. A 5th group of 3 horses was maintained as controls. The leas was fed in capsules, with the minimum dosage of 6.25 mg/kg/day of lead as lead acetate (group I). The dose was increased from group I through group IV in an approximate geometric series, with each group being given about 125% of the dose given the previous group. These doses were given for 105 days, a period designated as phase 1. Since clinical signs were not observed after 105 days, the doses were increased and fed for an additional 190 days (days 106 to 295). This period was designated phase 2. The smallest daily dose in phase 2 was set at about 125% of the largest daily dose in phase 1. The doses in each group was increased by about 125% of that of the previous group, as was done in phase 1. Seven horses died or were euthanatized after 18 to 190 days of phase 2 (123 to 295 days after the 1st dose). One horse in group I did not develop any clinical signs of intoxication. Dose-related responses were unnoticed with doses larger than 15.3 mg/kg/day. All horses given lead had increased blood lead and serum iron concentrations. During phase 2, the hematocrit (erythrocyte volume) and hemoglobin contents were depressed. The lead concentration in kidney, liver, spleen, pancreas, brain, bone, and heart was increased in the treated horses. The dose level required to produce lead intoxication was greater than that reported for cattle and that estimated in epizootiologic studies of horses.  相似文献

Blood lead concentrations in 68 healthy rabbits from laboratory (n = 15), meat production (n = 45), and home environments (n = 8) were determined. The median blood lead concentration of this heterogeneous population was 8 micrograms/dl (range = 2 to 27 micrograms/dl).  相似文献

Experimental lead toxicosis in swine   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Thirty pigs, weighing 17 to 24 kg, were exposed to lead or sodium acetate orally or intraperitoneally (IP) 6 days each week for 13 weeks. These pigs were extremely tolerant of lead. Only mild clinical signs of lead toxicosis were observed in orally lead-exposed pigs despite blood lead concentrations of up to 290 micrograms/dl. Four IP lead-exposed pigs died, but eight other IP lead-exposed pigs survived the exposure period despite blood lead concentrations up to 14,300 micrograms/dl. Lead exposure caused marked decreases in blood delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activities of all pigs and moderate decreases of blood hemoglobin concentrations, hematocrit percentages, mean corpuscular volumes, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentrations, and mean corpuscular hemoglobins in IP lead-exposed, but not in orally lead-exposed pigs. Basophilic stippling was observed in erythrocytes of lead-exposed pigs, but not in those of control pigs.  相似文献

Lead poisoning in cattle and other food animals is of public health significance because of the potential for human exposure to lead through ingestion of contaminated meat and milk products derived from lead-poisoned animals. In Michigan, lead poisoning in livestock is a reportable disease, and positive cattle are quarantined until they test negative (<0.05 ppm blood lead). There is surprisingly little information on blood lead kinetics in cattle. The half-life has been variably reported as 9 weeks and 1-2 months. Because these data did not fit those obtained from cases received at the Michigan State University Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory, a retrospective study was conducted to review all cases of accidental lead poisoning in cattle between 1990 and 1998. This information is needed to estimate when quarantined lead-poisoned cattle can be released. The results showed that the half-life of blood lead was quite variable and ranged from 48 to 2,507 days. The shortest half-lives (48, 56, and 57 days) were found in a lactating herd of 20-month-old heifers. The longest half-life, 2,507 days, was found in a 9-month-old castrated bull, which ingested a discarded automobile battery. Of the 24 animals monitored, only 8/24 (33%) had half-lives between 6 and 14 weeks. In conclusion, the half-life of blood lead is difficult to predict in accidental cases of cattle poisoning.  相似文献

A 13‐year‐old Irish Draught cross gelding was referred for abnormal respiratory noise at low level exercise. Bilateral laryngeal paralysis was observed during the resting endoscopic examination. Blood samples revealed lead toxicosis and subsequent soil analysis confirmed high lead levels. Treatment with the lead chelating agent calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid was successful in rapidly reducing blood lead levels; however, complications were observed during this treatment. Despite bilateral laryngeal paralysis, the horse maintained a good quality of life and following placement of a tracheostomy tube was able to continue ridden exercise. Two years after treatment right sided laryngeal function appeared normal; however, a grade 5 (of 5) left laryngeal hemiplegia was still present. Prolonged time periods are required for improvements in peripheral neuropathy subsequent to lead toxicosis to occur.  相似文献
