Studies on porphyrin biosynthesis in lead-intoxicated rabbits
The present report deals with studies on porphyrins and porphyrinogen carboxylyase of red cells and urinary porphyrins from lead-intoxicated rabbits. It was shown that the free erythrocyte porphyrins are a mixture of protoporphyrin 9, the main component, and minor proportions of Coproporphyrin, Urop...

Analysis of the urinary porphyrins demonstrates the presence of Coproporphyrin III as the major component, together with 15-20% of other porphyrins: 10-14% 5-COOH, 1-2% 6-COOH, 2-3% 7-COOH porphyrin and 1-2% Uroporphyrin III.
