Abstract
⺠We studied the effects of Pb pollution on bone and vitamins in wild ungulates from a mining area. ⺠Pb decreased the carbonate content in bone mineral in adult red deer. ⺠Pb increased the ratio of free retinol:retinyl esters in red deer and wild boar. ⺠Changes in vitamin A status were associated with changes in the carbonate content in bone mineral. ⺠Adverse effect of Pb on vitamin A status may be involved with toxic effects of Pb in bone tissue.
