Postepy Hig Med Dosw 2015; 69:1251-1258 "Retinal degeneration following lead exposure – functional aspects"

We present the most frequent sources of exposure to lead in the environment and the influence on vision, mechanisms leading to the apoptosis of photoreceptor cells, as well as strategies for blocking rod apoptosis. We also present Pb-induced disorders in the calcium metabolism of photoreceptor cells and Ca2+-dependent enzymes.
