[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 8R0x148E. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors sought to clarify in a cross-sectional study the possible associations between homeostatic regulators of calcium and occupational exposure to lead. Subjects were 146 industrial male employees, 56 with and 90 without occupational lead exposure. The main outcome measures were serum concentration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). The median values of blood lead were 40.5 mug/dl in the exposed group and 4.0 mug/dl in the controls. There were no differences between groups in dietary history and serum calcium levels. PTH and calcitriol levels were significantly higher in the exposed than in the nonexposed subjects (42.0 24.2 vs. 33.6 14.9 pg/ml, p
