Lead neurotoxicity: exploring the potential impact of lead substitution in zinc-finger proteins on mental health

This critical review focuses on one possible link between the cellular biology of lead and its neurotoxic effects: the link between Pb2+ substitution for Zn2+ in zinc-finger proteins and mental illness in adulthood.

Mutation in HFE gene decreases manganese accumulation and oxidative stress in the brain after olfactory manganese exposure

HFE H67D mutation up-regulates ferroportin, a metal exporter for manganese (Mn) and iron, and reduces Mn accumulation in the striatum after olfactory exposure to Mn, which consequently decreases Mn-induced oxidative stress in the brain.

Embryonic exposure to 10 μg L−1 lead results in female-specific expression changes in genes associated with nervous system development and function and Alzheimer's disease in aged adult zebrafish brain

Embryonic exposure to Pb at levels as low as 10 μg L−1 disturb global gene expression patterns in a sex-specific manner.

Thermodynamics of Pb(II) and Zn(II) binding to MT-3, a neurologically important metallothionein

The first quantification of Pb(II) binding to MT-3 using ITC shows that lead binds more tightly than zinc to this brain-specific metallothionein.
