What are Common Chelating Agents and Their Histological Impacts?
Common chelating agents include EDTA, DMPS (Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid), and DMSA (Dimercaptosuccinic acid). EDTA is often used for lead poisoning and has been shown to reduce lead-induced renal damage. DMPS and DMSA are used for mercury and arsenic poisoning and can help in the reduction of neuronal and hepatic damage, respectively.
