[The morphofunctional state of the bone marrow in lead and zinc intoxication].

The nucleolus is a compulsory nuclear structure of all cells of eukaryotes. The quantitative and qualitative characteristics of nuclei show the functional activity of a cell, the rate of its synthesis of RNA and portents, and its metabolic state. Heavy metals (zinc chloride and lead acetate) were comparatively investigated for their effects on the nucleolar apparatus of bone marrow cells in in vivo experiments.

[Oxidative stress and zinc chloride-induced gamete impaired morphology].

An in vivo study investigated the toxic effect of zinc chloride on murine spermatozoids. Acute and subacute intoxication was found to increase the quantity of TBC active products and to induce the growth of degenerative forms of spermatozoids.
