Pb(II) Induces Scramblase Activation and Ceramide-Domain Generation in Red Blood Cells
Abstract The mechanisms of Pb(II) toxicity have been studied in human red blood cells using confocal microscopy, immunolabeling, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and atomic force microscopy. The process follows a sequence of events, starting with calcium entry, followed by potassium release, morp...
