Lead intoxication affects many systems of the body including the cardiovascular, renal, and reproductive systems. Its most detrimental effects occur in the nervous system, where lead blocks the receptor know as N-methyl-D-aspartate, an effective receptor involved in the maturation of brain plasticity.
The toxicity of lead plays a major role in the communication between astrocytes and endothelial cells.By disrupting the blood-brain barrier, it causes encephalopathy and edema that primarily affects the cerebellum.
Intracellularly, lead replaces calcium as a second messenger, binding with calmodulin more readily than calcium, resulting in an alteration in protein conformation.

What else can I help you with?
Why are chemicals needed by your body?
Because they can help break down foods in the body and also destroy any unneeded chemicals or unwanted chemicals
What simulates the body to produce chemicals that destroy viruses and bacteria?
The immune system simulates the body to produce chemicals such as antibodies, interferons, and cytokines that help destroy viruses and bacteria. These chemicals work together to identify and neutralize pathogens to protect the body from infections.
What body chemicals does lead mercury and arsenic destroy?
These elements and compounds doesn't destroy; these elements interfere with normal biochemical reactions in organisms.
What stimulates a person's body to produce chemicals that destroy vireses or bacteria?
The best answer would be Antibodies; however, these do not chemically "attack" viruses or bacteria. More accurately, antibodies recognize various germs and allow the various cell types of your immune system to attack and destroy these germs directly. For more info on how this works see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_immune_system
What helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins?
Consuming dietary fats helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins require fat to be absorbed in the intestines and then transported throughout the body. Including sources of healthy fats like nuts, seeds, avocados, and oils can enhance the absorption of these vitamins.

What is the role of taurine in lipid digestion?
It plays a role in the oxidation of cholesterol into bile salts in the liver. This allows the cholesterol in to be excreted out of the body by changing it into a water soluble form (bile salts).
What form of amine containing drugs are often administered?
Amine salts are solids at room temperature, odorless, and soluble in water and body fluids therefore amines used in drugs are converted to their amine salts to be administered.
