  • (2) Ten percent of the staff constantly exposed to lead and 8 percent of the staff periodically exposed presented heme synthesis disturbances in form of plumbic anaemia accompanied by an increased ferrum level in blood serum, whereas 26 percent of workers exhibited positive tests of biological reaction to lead.

Plumbous


Definition:

  • (a.) Of, pertaining to, or containing, lead; -- used specifically to designate those compounds in which it has a lower valence as contrasted with plumbic compounds.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) All of these observations are consistent with the biosynthesis of heme rather than any of the steps in protein biosynthesis being the locus for inhibition of hemoglobin synthesis by low levels of plumbous ion.
  • (2) Moreover, the inhibition was not affected by precipitating JD with plumbous acetate and gelatin.
  • (3) The following methods for furosemide identification were recommended: microcrystalline reactions with Dragendorf and Zonnenstein reagents, with cuprous iodide and ferric iodide complexes, rhodanide cadmium complex, plumbous iodide solution in iodized potassium, and thin-layer sorbent chromatography.
  • (4) Plumbous ion a potent inhibitor of hemoglobin synthesis by reticulocytes in vivo, is not as effective in inhibiting in vitro globin synthesizing systems prepared from these cells.
