| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the influence of calcium signaling in rat hippocampus astrocytes after exposure to lead. There was the tendency to decrease calcium ion influx into astrocytes with concentration-dependent lead exposure and to become slower than control. Moreover, we observed increase of D,L-Serine in 40 μM lead exposure astrocytes. This study suggested that Astrocyte is possibly one of the pathway in the lead-induced neurotoxicity.
