Blook metallothionein transcript as a biomarker for metal sensitivity: low blood metallothionein transcripts in arsenicosis patients from Guizhou, China.
BACKGROUND: Because metallothionein (MT) is a metal-binding protein that protects against metal intoxication, it could be a biomarker for individual sensitivity to metal toxicity. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the use of bloodborne MT transcript as a reflection of tissue MT levels and examined the potentia...
