RESUMO
The effects of calcium sodium ethylenediaminetetra-acetate (CaNa2EDTA) on the kinetics of distribution and excretion of lead (210Pb) have been studied in rats. When the chelant was given intravenously, at 50 mg./rat daily after a single intravenous injection of 100 μg. lead/rat, it greatly increased the urinary excretion of lead but reduced the faecal excretion. The greatest effects occurred in the rats treated with chelant shortly after the lead injection. When the chelant was given seven or more days after the lead the increase in lead excretion was negligible. CaNa2EDTA mobilized lead from every tissue, but the kinetic analysis of the disappearance of 210Pb showed the presence of two elimination phases. Lead ions weakly bound to the cells were rapidly removed by EDTA, whereas the lead fixed to endocellular constituents was only slowly removed. The chelant did not mobilize lead from bone.
