Several metals have long been known to be toxic to humans, and continue to pose great difficulty to treat. These challenges pose particular problems in industrial settings, with lead smelting known to be associated with hemopoietic alterations and paralyses, and the inhalation of mercury vapor in mercury mining being extremely detrimental to the central nervous system. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClinical experience has demonstrated that acute and chronic human intoxications with a range of metals can be treated efficiently by administration of chelating agents. \u003ci\u003eChelation Therapy in the Treatment of Metal Intoxication\u003c\/i\u003e describes the chemical and biological principles of chelation in the treatment of these toxic metal compounds, including new chelators such as meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and D,L-2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (DMPS).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents all the current findings on the potential for chelation as a therapy for metal intoxication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents practical guidelines for selecting the most appropriate chelating agent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes coverage on radionuclide exposure and metal storage diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the chemical and biological principles of chelation in the treatment of toxic metal compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119624569072,"sku":"9780128030738","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780128030738_p0.jpg?v=1763639581","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780128030738","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
