Fecal Pb levels were determined at the end of (1) induction of Pb toxicity, (2) Pb-withdrawal and (3) Pb re-exposure. The values are fecal Pb levels (μg/g of wet weight of feces) represented as the mean±SD. Different superscripts are significantly different between groups across the time point (p<0.05). For example, superscript 'a' means statistically similar to each other, but significantly different from 'b'. | |||||
