Abstract
Results of medical examination among working firemen and firemen with diagnosed occupational disease prove changes in protein and lipid metabolism. Decreased alpha-globulin fractions and increased beta-globulins could result from toxic chemical load and stress. Thus early changes in cholesterol metabolism without hepatic involvement are seen.
