The role of iron in the hexachlorobenzene induced porphyria. I. Studies on different types of iron and its relation with porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase decrease
Studies were carried out to elucidate if in the hexachlorobenzene (HCB) pophyria, total, nonhaem and haem iron contents in liver are altered and if any relation exists between these alterations and the hepatic porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase (PCL) decrease in rats treated with the drug. It was observed...
