目的研究汞暴露对男性工人血清睾酮水平的影响。方法选择111名职业性汞作业工人为暴露组,46名无汞暴露史的工人为对照组,测定两组工人血清睾酮(ST)水平,并分析ST与年龄、工龄和尿汞(HgU)的相关性。结果暴露组工人HgU、ST显著升高,暴露时间是ST升高的主要因素;暴露组工人ST升高率明显高于对照组;暴露组工人ST和尿汞水平无明显相关性。结论职业性汞暴露可使工人血清睾酮水平明显升高。
Objective To study the effect of mercury exposure on serum testosterone levels in male workers. Methods A total of 111 workers exposed to mercury were selected as exposure group and 46 workers without mercury exposure as control group. Serum testosterone (ST) levels were measured in two groups of workers. ST, age, length of service, and urine mercury (HgU) Correlation. Results The exposure time was the major factor for the increase of HgU and ST in exposed group. The rate of ST increased in exposed group was significantly higher than that in control group. There was no significant correlation between ST and urinary mercury level in exposed group. Conclusion Occupational mercury exposure can significantly increase serum testosterone levels in workers.
