Abstract
The effect of experimental lead poisoning on the permeability of the lysosomal membrane was investigated in albino rats. Activation of two lysosomal enzymes, α-mannosidase and β-acetylglucosaminidase, was found in the blood serum as early as on the third day of daily administration of lead acetate (20 mg/kg) to the rats. Innury to the lysosomal membrane evidently plays an important role in the pathogenesis of lead poisoning.
