An increase in erythrocyte protoporphyrin (EP) is one of the most useful indicators of adverse biological response to lead exposure. A nonlinear mathematical model relating EP to blood lead concentration (PbB) was fitted to data in a sample of 1677 U.S. children (ages 2-6 years) in the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II). Iron status was defined by percentage transferrin saturation (PTS). The dose-response curves for EP vs PbB increased systematically with decreasing PTS, largely due to decrease of a parameter proportional to red cell lead-holding capacity with decreasing PTS.
红细胞原卟啉(EP)增加是铅暴露不良生物学反应最有用的指标之一。在第二次全国健康与营养检查调查(NHANES II)中,将一个把EP与血铅浓度(PbB)相关联的非线性数学模型应用于1677名美国儿童(2至6岁)样本的数据。铁状态由转铁蛋白饱和度百分比(PTS)定义。随着PTS降低,EP与PbB的剂量反应曲线系统性上升,这主要是由于随着PTS降低,与红细胞铅容纳能力成比例的一个参数下降所致。
