Influence oe calcium disodium edetate on the toxic effects of lead administration in pregnant rats.

چکیده
Adverse effects of lead on mothers and foetal development along with lead distribution and their alteration by calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate (CaNa2EDTA) were investigated in pregnant rats. The number of fetal resorption and abnormal fetuses increased and the number of live fetuses per dam and fetal weight decreased along with increase in liver, kidney, blood, brain and fetus lead levels by lead administration. The treatment with CaNa2EDTA significantly reduced these effects of lead. However, the chelating agent enhanced the placental level of lead. Neither lead nor CaNa2EDTA altered the zinc levels of maternal organs, placenta or fetus. The results suggest that many adverse effects of lead in pregnant rats can be favourably reduced by CaNa2EDTA.

A case of lead poisoning due to snooker chalk.
A 3 year, 9 month old child with pica presented with a blood lead concentration of 1.74 micromol/l (360 microg/l). The source of poisoning was snooker chalk (lead content 7200 microg/g). She was treated with intravenous calcium disodium edetate chelation. Thirty months later her blood lead was 0.39 micromol/l (80 microg/l). This case illustrates the need to be vigilant for more unusual causes o...

متن کاملEvaluation of the potential role of chelation therapy in treatment of low to moderate lead exposures.
In the overall long-term management of lead poisoning, chelation therapy can have short-term benefits; however, these benefits must be accompanied by drastic reduction in environmental exposure to lead if therapy is to have any long-term benefit. This discussion is limited to calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CaNa2EDTA), the chelating agent that has been the mainstay of treatment of...
متن کاملEDTA chelation therapy in the treatment of toxic metals
BACKGROUND: Metal induced toxicity with wide range of physiological, biochemical and behavioral dysfunctions was reported in many studies. The chelation has been used for treatment to toxic metals’ exposure for many years. In our current clinical study, we compared different chelation protocols and two forms of EDTA (sodium calcium edetate and sodium edetate) in treatments of toxic metal exposu...
