"Highlights
• Chronic Pb exposure could result in a lower weight gain in rats and a higher Pb content in the brain of model rats.
• Pb exposure reduced activities of key enzymes of glucose metabolism in the brain.
• Pb exposure could disrupt the insulin signaling pathway in the hippocampus of rats."
The glucose transports are increased, (GLUT3 is the one that supplies axons) and the rats weighed less.
