Furthermore, [Pb.sup.2+] effect may be seen in the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by accelerating of oxidation of oxyhaemoglobin to methaemoglobin and thus induces oxidative stress by generating imbalance between production of free radicals in tissues and cellular components and their ability to detoxify the extremely reactive intermediates that causing damage to membranes, DNA and proteins [1].
