Blood 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...
