OBJECTIVE To explore effects of lead exposure on the concentrations of serum hormone in male workers. METHODS Blood sample of 137 male workers occupationally exposed to lead and 140 male worker without exposure history were collected, of which the concentrations of blood lead (PbB) were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, and concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone (ΓSH), triiodothyronine(T3), thyroxine (T4), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (Γ) were measured using radioimmunity method. RESULTS The results showed that concentration of PbB were significantly higher (P
