(1834) EDTA was administered continuously to Pb-poisoned subjects for 60 days to 1 group and intermittently every 10 days to another group. The toxic symptoms and signs of Pb poisoning were more or less improved by the administration of EDTA without any harmful effect. EDTA showed favorable effect on anemia in chronic Pb poisoning especially in the group of continuous administration. Stipple cells disappeared or decreased more extensively in that group than in the group of intermittent administration.

(2035) Twenty-eight cases of chronic Pb poisoning are discussed, including that of 1 patient with a polyneuritic form involving both upper limbs. Oral administration of CaNa2EDTA (60 mg/kg) for 7 days caused diminution of the gingival line, general improvement, and normalization of blood values. Short treatment with EDTA (for 7 days) ~3-4 times a year is recommended for prevention of major Pb poisoning accidents.

(2202) The compound was administered orally to 24 printers, 18 persons with severe Pb poisoning, and 8 controls with no Pb exposure. The upper limit of Pb excretion in urine after 3 g CaEDTA was 0.340 mg/24 hr.

(2784) Treatment of Pb-poisoned patients in the Clinic for Occupational Diseases, Bucharest, with iv injections of 2 g CaNa2EDTA/day for 2-20 days markedly increased urinary excretion of Pb. Oral doses of 4-6 g EDTA/day were less effective.

(CA49:14168e) The Pb complex of EDTA is a very water sol. and nontoxic radio-opaque substance. In doses of 1 ml./kg. of a 50% soln., it produces in cats, rabbits, and rats hypotension and depression of the myocardium, both transient. Intestine and nonpregnant uterus muscles were not affected, and pregnancy in rats was not disturbed. It is suggested as a possible contact medium for both oral and parenteral use in man.

121. Savicevic M, Petrovic LJ. New views on the treatment of occupational lead poisoning. Vojnosanitetski Pregled. 1964; 21:173-177. (2804) The effectiveness of EDTA therapy using Mosatil in various strengths iv, im or as tablets was studied on groups of patients with chronic Pb poisoning and compared with nontreated controls. The following criteria were examined over 7 days of treatment: basophilic stippling, Hb content of erythrocytes, number of reticulocytes, urinary excretion of Pb and coproporphyrins, and blood Pb, as well as subjective complaints. The conclusion reached was that it be considered the drug of choice in the treatment of Pb poisoning.

(CA49:1961g) Ferric sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (I) was given orally, and the absorption and utilization were compared with oral FeSO4 (II). I and II were labeled with isotopic Fe. I was absorbed to the same extent as II (about 6%). No detectable amt. was excreted in the urine. I and II produced identical reticulocyte responses. The observations suggested that I is split in the gastrointestinal tract into ionized Fe and that this is absorbed in the usual manner.

The iron absorption data from this salt tested with 6 different food vehicles compared with the absorption of ferrous sulphate given with the same vehicles indicate that whereas the mean absorption from ferrous sulphate varies from 2 to 30% according to the food vehicle mixed with the salt, the absorption from Fe(III)-EDTA remains practically the same. Apparently, the iron absorption from Fe(III)-EDTA complex is slightly or not affected by the presence of vegetable foods or milk. All these data suggest that only a small amount of iron from this salt, about 10 mg daily, would be necessary to prevent iron-deficiency anaemia even in those populations relying for their subsistence on vegetable food only.]

They also had none, 1.35 or 13.5 g ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) in a gelatine capsule or 13.5 g EDTA by nipple pails. On the 4th day the calves were given carrier-free 144Ce, 150 mCi by capsule or nipple pail, and 300 mCi 141Ce, specific activity 3.8 mCi per mg, by vein and blood samples were taken 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h later. Urine and faeces were monitored at 6, 24, 48 and 72 h. All calves were killed at 72 h and the digestive tracts were divided into rumen, omasum, abornasum, 3 equal lengths of small intestine, caecum and 2 equal lengths of large intestine. The contents of each were weighed, mixed and sampled. Heart, femur, kidney, liver, lung, rib, spleen and bile samples were also taken.
Oral 144Ce could not be detected in blood and intravenous 141Ce cleared rapidly, 16% remaining in blood at 1 h and 0.6% at 24 h. In urine 144Ce was 0.01% for controls, 0.21% after 1.35 g EDTA, 0.56% after 13.5g by capsule and 1.21% after 13.5 g by nipple pail: 141Ce was 1.2% of the dose given by vein in controls, and 1.6, 5.27 and 9.75% after the different EDTA treatments. Intravenous 141Ce entered the digestive tract mainly in the small intestine. In faeces and tissue amounts of doses by mouth and vein were unchanged by EDTA. The mean 72 h excretions in faeces were 94% for oral and 2% for intravenous doses.

When typical signs of deficiency developed all animals were allocated to low-Zn diets containing 300 ppm EDTA, 350 ppm Cd, or no additive. Balance studies after 2 weeks showed that Cd doubled faeces Zn excretion in calves; goats were not affected and EDTA affected neither species. At slaughter after 3 weeks, EDTA had decreased blood Zn after high-Zn pretreatment and increased it after low-Zn pretreatment in calves and goats; Cd increased blood Zn in low-Zn animals. Zn pretreatment itself had little effect on Zn in faeces or blood. Effects on tissue dry matter and Zn were generally small; most striking was the increase of Zn in liver and tibia in low-Zn animals given Cd.]

(NA40) [Male broiler chicks were given from 1 to 21 days of age on a semi-purified diet based on isolated soya beam protein and glucose. In the first experiment supplemental Mg was given in increments of 25 ppm up to 175 ppm with or without 500 ppm ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) Best growth and efficiency of feed conversion were with 155 ppm Mg and mortality increased as the supplement decreased from 100 ppm; EDTA had no effect. In the second experiment 4% phytic acid depressed growth with 75 ppm Mg in the diet with or without 500 ppm EDTA. In the third experiment 70, 100, 130, 160 or 190 ppm Mg and no phytic acid or 2 or 4% were given in a factorial design: best Mg level for growth was 120 ppm with no phytic acid or 2% and 166 ppm with 4% phytic acid. It was concluded that phytic acid influences the chick's requirement for Mg.]

EDTA at 227 mg/kg of feed had no further effect on growth, and EDTA alone was not stimulatory. Dietary trace elements alone or with EDTA had no effect on in vitro O consumption by the liver, but EDTA alone increased it by 72%; trace elements with or without EDTA decreased the glycogen of liver and pectoral muscle, and EDTA alone was just as effective in that regard. Trace elements increased the aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT), and decreased the alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) of liver; EDTA with trace minerals increase SGOT but had no effect on SGPT, and EDTA alone had no effect on SGOT but decreased the SGPT. Treatments had no effect on the serum proteins.]

(CA) [Growth of the aphid M. persicae fed artificial diets in which the required trace minerals (Fe, Cu, Mn, and Zn) were incorporated as chlorides was compared to growth on diets in which the minerals were supplied as sodium EDTA complexes. If the mineral chlorides were allowed to interact with L-ascorbic acid prior to their incorporation into a diet, much less ascorbic acid was needed than if the ascorbic acid was added after incorporation of the mineral chlorides into a diet. Low levels of D-ascorbic acid or citric acid acted similarly to L-ascorbic acid. This was presumably by chelating the minerals. The complexes thus formed not only maintained the minerals in soln. for ingestion but appeared to facilitate their utilization by the aphids. However, higher levels of L-ascorbic acid were needed by the insects, presumably for purposes other than trace-mineral nutrition, when they were maintained for longer periods on the diets. Deterioration in the nutrient value of diets during 2-4 days at expd. temps. was less with diets contg. minerals complexed with citric acid than with ascorbic acid. Dietary riboflavine was detrimental to aphid growth. However, it was not established that this was the result of mineral deprivation through the formation of nutritionally available miner/riboflavine complexes. Enterobactin added to a diet effectively deprived the aphids of available Fe. Higher levels of dietary Fe could overcome such a deficiency.]

Reduced gastrointestinal absorption of sulfanilamide (II) was produced in the presence of I, and was caused mainly by decreased gastric emptying. Though glucose and water transport were reduced in the presence of I, II passes through the intestinal mucosa apparently independent of the transport of water. The effect of I could only be demonstrated when I and II were given simultaneously by mouth, but no effect occurred when I and II were given simultaneously parenterally, or one by mouth and the other parenterally. Therefore the reduced drug action is not due to a systemic action of I.]

The duration of trials was from 1 to 28 days of age for chicks, 7 to 49 for young quail, and 167 to 210 for adult quail. Feeding 0.71% NTA or an equimolar level of Na2NTA caused a moderate decrease in chick wt., and Na2EDTA caused a drastic decrease in body wt. of chicks and adult quail. Feeding Na2EDTA caused greater mortality in chicks receiving a low-Ca diet than a higher level of Ca. Plasma Ca levels were increased by NTA in young quail and by Na2NTA in adult quail; in contrast, they were decreased by Na2EDTA in adult quail. Dietary NTA promoted greater tibia mineralization (ash/dry matter) in growing chicks. Dietary NTA increased the deposition of Zn and Mn, in chick tibia, but, it decreased Mg. On the other hand, Na2EDTA decreased Zn and Fe in chick tibia and increased Mn. Coturnix were less sensitive than chickens in responding to dietary chelates.]

J Nutr. 1979; 109(9):1519-1528. (NA50) [By serial estimation of the change in plasma zinc concentration after a standard dose of 110 mg zinc sulphate heptahydrate, containing 25 mg elemental Zn, the biological availability of Zn was evaluated in human subjects. Plasma Zn concentration was stable in the fasting state. After the standard dose of Zn, 25 mg in water, plasma Zn increased above the fasting, baseline values of 61.0, 68.0, 52.0 and 37.8 mg/100 ml, respectively, at the first 4 hourly sampling intervals. Four h after a standard meal, based on the traditional rural diet of Guatemala and consisting of 120 g maize tortillas, 120 g black bean gruel, 40 g sweet rolls and 250 ml coffee sweetened with 15 g sugar, plasma Zn was significantly lower than the fasting value. Addition of 25 mg Zn to the black bean gruel in the meal prevented this decline, but did not increase plasma Zn above fasting values; apparently Zn absorption was inhibited by the meal. Probably, phytates, dietary fibre and calcium were major factors, and coffee was a minor factor in this inhibition. The chelate of iron with EDTA, NaFeEDTA, an Fe-fortifying agent proposed for use in Guatemala, at 15 mg, equivalent to that in a cup of coffee sweetened with 15 g fortified sugar, and at 40 mg, equivalent to that eaten in a day by rural Guatemalans, did not significantly depress Zn uptake. Moreover, no influence of 15 mg NaFeEDTA beyond that of coffee or food itself, was found. High doses of NaFeEDTA, beyond the normal range, impaired Zn absorption, and the EDTA moiety, rather than Fe, was responsible. The suggestion was that fortification of sugar with NaFeEDTA at 1 mg/g would not influence Zn status, but that the basal Guatemalan diet, itself, impairs Zn status.

Preliminary studies on the effect of versenates on the organism in the light of views on possibilities of the use of these compounds in the food industry. Przem. spoz. 1969; 23:237-240. (NA40) [In 2 trials groups of female Wistar rats 4 weeks old weighing 52 g, received a diet without or with disodium versenate (Na2EDTA). In the first trial, 3 groups of 4 rats were given none, 25 or 250 mg Na2EDTA per day per rat. In the second trial, 2 groups of 5 or 6 rats were given none or 250 mg Na2EDTA per day per rat. Rats were killed after 2 weeks in trial 1 and after 6 weeks in trial 2. Fe and Cu in liver as well as Hb in blood were estimated. In both trials there was a considerable decrease of Fe and Hb in all groups given Na2EDTA. Liveweight gain in those groups was somewhat less than in the control ones. The smaller amount of Na2EDTA caused an increase in Cu in liver, while the larger one only slightly increased or decreased Cu.
As the limits set by standards range from 70 to 800 mg versenate per kg food product it was thought that a relatively high intake of versenate by people is possible. It was concluded that versenates should be introduced into the food industry with more caution.]

(2818) [Since in Bulgaria, EDTA has not yet been used for the treatment or prevention of Pb poisoning, the author reports his observation on 24 workers engaged in the manufacture of Pb pigments. All showed signs of excessive absorption of Pb and all had earlier received treatment. The "test" group of 14 workers received orally twice a day for 8 days a 10% solution (10 ml) of the CaNa2 salt of EDTA, and 10 received no EDTA. Of the test group 4 had no complaints; 4 had periodic abdominal cramps; the others complained of various sorts of digestive discomfort, 1 had joint pain and in 1 the liver could be palpated. All showed facial pallor. Detailed blood and porphyrin tests and determinations of urinary Pb were made 1 day before administration was started, on the 5th day and 1 day after treatment was discontinued. Average urinary Pb excretion increased from an initial value of 0.149 mg/l to 1.174 on the 5th day and returned to 0.150 on the 11th day, that is, each man excreted a total of 7.894 mg Pb on the av over the 8 days of treatment. The control group that was not given EDTA, excreted an av of 0.115 mg Pb/l or a total of 0.920 mg over the 8-day period. In 3 men, urinary Pb was measured every 2 hr for 24 hr. Pb excretion had doubled within 2 hr after EDT administration, increased 4- to 7-fold after 6-8 hr and kept on increasing up to the 24th hr. Coproporphyrin was positive in all 14 men before treatment; after treatment it was negative in 7, decreased in 5 and unchanged in 2, while there were no changes in the control group. Hemoglobin increased an av of 5.1% after the EDTA doses, stippled erythrocytes disappeared in all but 2 of the 14 patients. Objective and subjective improvement was obvious in all treated workers. The men were observed for 6 more mo. When 2 of them after 4 mo again showed indications of Pb poisoning, EDTA treatment was repeated and again was successful. Generally, no harmful effects of the treatment were noted and its use is recommended. It is contraindicated in cases of renal damage.]

Solns. of Co plus the various substances were prepd. by mixing 100 micromoles of the substance with 2 mc. Co??Cl2 contained in 0.05 ml. soln., dilg. to 1 ml., and adjusting to pH 6 with solid NaHCO2. All solns. were left at room temp. 30 min. before administration. For absorption measurements 0.2-0.5 g (0.2-0.5 mc.) the CoCl2 was administered to each rat by gastric intubation. Three days later, rats were killed with ether, and the carcass and feces were prepd. sep. for assay of Co by ashing at 600°. The fraction of absorbed Co excreted in the urine over the period of observation was detd. by measuring the urinary excretion of Co over a 3-day period following intravenous administration of a tracer dose of Co. Groups of rats were injected with 0.2 mc. Co?? as the serum protein complex, or as a Co-glycine complex (I) contg. various amts of Co. Excretion of Co was not influenced by the form in which it was injected and the mean urinary recovery was 73.0%. After oral administration of CoCl2, I, or serum or lactose complexes, 30% of the metal was absorbed. Absorption was 40% when administered in cow milk. Histidine, lysine, glycylglycine, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, casein, and I all depressed absorption of the metal. An increase in the dose of Co to 100 g reduced absorption to 16%. Further increases in the dose to 1000 g reduced the absorption to 11%. In a sep. test to det. the production of polycythemia in rats fed Co orally, either in glycine soln. or as CoCl2, 1 mg. daily for 6 weeks, it was found that glycine exerted no inhibitory action.

Fe2(SO4)3 and Na Fe EDTA mixed in the same meal were absorbed in the same proportion as when Na Fe EDTA alone was added to the meal and 2-3 times better than when Fe2(SO4)3 alone was added to the meal. Addn. of desferrioxamine depressed Fe absorption from Fe2(SO4)3 and Na Fe EDTA, the latter being less affected. Addn. of ascorbic acid increased absorption from both. When the compds. were added to the meal to provide 50 mg Fe, percentage absorption was depressed in relation to the smaller Fe dose in the case of Fe2(SO4)3 and Hb but remained unaltered in the case of Na Fe EDTA. Addn. of 45 mg Fe as Fe2(SO4)3 or Na Fe EDTA to 0.4 mg Fe from Hb in the meal did not change Hb Fe absorption. Addn. of 45 mg Fe as Hb or Na Fe EDTA to 0.4 mg Fe from Fe2(SO4)3 in the meal enhanced Fe absorption from the latter in the same proportions. Addn. of 45 mg Fe as Fe2(SO4)3 and Hb to 0.4 mg Fe as Na Fe EDTA in the meal resp. depressed and enhanced Fe absorption from Na Fe EDTA. Na Fe EDTA, Fe2(SO4)3, and nonheme food Fe form a common pool different from the heme pool but which is changed in its characteristics by the presence of Na Fe EDTA, resulting in a better absorption of Fe.]

Cu and the larger amount of Zn depressed weight gain and EDTA counteracted only the latter effect. Ash of tibia and beak were increased by Cu and EDTA. Tissue Zn was increased by extra Zn but the effect was less when EDTA was given; of the other elements studied Mn in tibia was increased and Fe in beak was reduced by Zn. EDTA increased Mn in tibia, beak and kidney and reduced Fe in tibia. Extra Cu increased Cu in tissues and Zn in testes and reduced Fe in liver. In general EDTA counteracted the effects of excess Zn but not of excess Cu.]

The second, third and fourth groups had 50 mg/kg Fe added as ferrous sulphate during the first 6 weeks of fattening and 30 mg thereafter. The fifth had 30 mg added throughout. The third group were given also 3000 mg/kg chlorophyll preparation which was 20% pure and the fourth and fifth had a preparation of EDTA corresponding to 230 and 2300 mg/kg of the actual acid. Three Fe balance trials around the beginning, middle and end of fattening and consisting of a main period of 7 days, preceded by from 6 to 7 days of adaptation, showed that retention of the added Fe was reduced somewhat by the chlorophyll and by the low concentration of EDTA and was prevented entirely by the large amount of EDTA. Excretion of Fe was almost entirely in faeces. Testing of Hb every 2 weeks showed that values declined steadily in the first and fifth groups to, on average, 6.7 and 5.8 g/100 ml blood; in the other groups they fell in the first 4 weeks and thereafter remained at, on average, about 11 g. Meat from the first and fifth groups was pale and had a lower pigment content than in the other groups, which also had more Fe in liver than the first and fifth. It was concluded that utilisation of Fe was not clearly affected by the additives, except for the high concentration of EDTA which prevented it completely or almost completely because of its Fe-binding capacity.]

Diagnosis may be confirmed by the presence of an excess of Pb in the blood and urine, but such quantitative studies should be repeated frequently. Coproporphyrinuria is also a reliable, rapid and simple method of determination. Usually small amounts of Pb are found in the tissue, the upper safe limit being 0.060-0.070 mg Pb/100 g whole blood, and 0.080 mg Pb/l urine. These values cannot be accepted however, without taking the complete clinical picture of the patient into account.
In describing the earlier treatments of Pb intoxication, the author points out the ineffectiveness and toxicity of BAL. CaEDTA as a chelating agent is recommended because it is nontoxic and eliminates the Pb rapidly from the organism via the urine. The average recommended daily dosage for children is: 65-75 mg/kg body weight and for adults 30 mg/kg weight. Administered intravenously (iv), and given in fractions of the total amount, the dosage should be dissolved in a 250-500 ml glucose or saline solution. If given im or sc, it should be dissolved in a 20% solution with 0.5% procaine. This treatment should be repeated if the Pb concentration remains at the toxic level, or if important neurologic manifestations persist. Orally, CaEDTA may be administered in cases of chronic Pb poisoning to adults, however, not to children because of its possible harmful effects. CaEDTA decreases the morbidity of Pb intoxication in adults, but it is not certain yet whether it may prevent the mental deterioration which succeeds Pb encephalitis in children. In a few cases of Pb encephalitis in children cerebral decompression or an iv injection with urea may be necessary in order to avoid brain compression. Early diagnosis and early treatment for children are necessary.]

To confirm HRE-derived findings, 8 groups of 10 rats were repleted with a modified American Institute of Nutrition (1977; AIN) 76A diet, fortified with ferric phosphate, electrolytic Fe, carbonyl Fe or ferrous sulphate, with and without ascorbic acid. Results without ascorbic acid were comparable to findings of a human study by Forbes et al. (Amer. J Clin. Nutr. 1989; 49:225.) Bioavailability of EDTA-enhanced fortificants, FeSO4 + NA2EDTA and NaFe(III)EDTA, was compared with that of FeSO4 in 6 groups of 10 rats repleted with a ground Egyptian bread meal or a casein-based AIN diet fortified with 1 of the 3 compounds. Addition of either EDTA compound significantly increased bioavailability of Fe in Egyptian balady bread. When present in the less inhibitory casein meal, however, FeSO4 + Na2EDTA fortification was significantly less effective than NaFe(III)EDTA or the reference FeSO4. Results indicate that NaFe(III)EDTA may be the fortificant of choice in a mixed diet. Further study of EDTA-enhanced Fe fortificants is needed.]

Other entries in his medical history included Pb Neuritis in Jan-Feb 1948 and inflammation of the optic nerve June-Sept. 1948. According to the patient, he had been supervised medically every 6 mo. Other complaints had included gastric and intestinal catarrh, inflammation of the gastric mucosa (1956) and flu (1956). In 1956, he felt pressure on the stomach but no ulcer was found. This pressure, constant and independent of meals, recurred at the time of the visual disturbances. Patient stated he smoked 3-4 cigarettes/day, did not drink and had had no venereal disease.
The ophthalmologic and neurologic clinics of the university gave the following information: Treatment in 1948 for edema of the papilla (right) and a moderate partial post-neuritic papillary atrophy (left). At that time, the physician considered the possibility of Pb intoxication but no other signs of Pb intoxication (such as toxic forms of erythrocytes) were found. There were no signs of cerebral processes; encephalogram and spinal fluid were normal. The cause of the optic disturbance was assumed to be a nerve inflammation. No basis for a Pb neuritis was found.
The ophthalmologist consulted in the case in 1956 (?) found bilateral atrophy of the optic nerve as a result of inflammation of the nerves in both eyes in May 1948. The atrophy had caused a significant limitation of the visual field and a moderate reduction in the visual acuity of the right eye.
The etiology of the illness was not clarified. Pb intoxication was ruled out as unlikely on the basis of lack of circumstantial evidence.]

(1881) [As first tested on 60 cases of Pb poisoning, oral doses of 2-3 g EDTA/day in 0.25-g tablets given every 2 hr for a total dose of 20 g gave good results. Since a 2-g oral dose every other day produced an elimination of Pb that was similar or even greater than that obtained by a daily dose, fractions of a total dose of 20 g were subsequently administered every other day over a period of 12-14 days. Counts of stippled erythrocytes, urinary coproporphyrin (CP), and Pb, and blood Pb were used as diagnostic criteria. Having established that the CP elimination by nonexposed subjects given EDT does not exceed 1 mg/24 hr in the 1st 3 days, the mobilization test was used to confirm diagnosis of Pb poisoning. Based on these experiments, a prophylactic program for the nonferrous smelting industry was developed with the active participation of factory physicians. In industries with high exposure, Pb poisoning recurred 2-3 mo after return to work. A 2nd treatment allowed the workers to return to work for a number of months without further signs of Pb absorption. The authors conclude that a greater application and systematic and frequent examination would diminish the number of workers who would be forced to leave these industries.]

[Pentavalent EDTA-sodium-extract-vaccines and monovalent EDTA-sodium-extract-vaccines obtained from swine-pathogenic E. coli and produced in Berlin-Buch were used in field trials to test their antiepizootic effect in industrial pig-farms in the district of Wroclaw. The pentavalent vaccine contained extracts from E. coli 0138, 0139, 0141, 0147, and 0149, whereas extracts from 08, 0115 and 0149 were used as monovalent vaccines. The field trials were conducted as blind trials in closed stocks of pigs. We employed direct oral immunization of suckling piglets and indirect immunization via sow vaccination. Direct oral immunization was tested in 382 suckling piglets. 190 animals were vaccinated, 192 animals received placebo. Neither the pentavalent vaccine nor a monovalent vaccine obtained from an epizootie strain of this stock gave protection in terms of a decrease in the duration of disease or a reduction of morbidity and mortality. Direct oral-immunization of suckling piglets thus was ineffective. Indirect immunization of the suckling piglets via vaccination of sow was performed in 189 pregnant sows 18-15 days before farrowing. 84 sows received vaccines i.m., 105 were given placebo i.m. These sows farrowed 1717 pigs, 777 of which were immunized directly and 940 treated with placebos.

By means of oral immunization the pentavalent vaccine was capable of reducing the morbidity of the vaccinated animals significantly. Intramuscular immunization with the pentavalent vaccines produced significant differences in morbidity too.

Oral administration of Na ethylenediaminetetraacetate to the fowl gave greater effect than Na citrate, while Na tartrate had less effect on the metabolism of Sr and Ca. Ingestion of MgSO4 by the goat and fowl after previous doses of Sr90 and Ca4? increased the Sr and Ca excretion (the former being greater) and decreased bone retention. Ingestion of primary Na phosphate by the fowl after oral Sr90 and Ca4? caused a greater effect on the urinary excretion and endogenous fecal excretion than MgSO4.

Immediately thereafter, or within 30-60 min., the following compds. were administered orally or intraperitoneally: deferrioxamine B-methanesulfonate; EDTA; 2,2¢-bis[bis(carboxymethyl)amino]diethyl ether; diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid; trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diaminetetraacetic acid; 2-(b-aminoethoxy)cyclohexylaminetetraacetic acid; (2-biscarboxymethylamino)cyclohexylethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; ethylenediaminebis(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid); and K or Na hexacyanoferrate. The effectiveness of these compds. in preventing death of the mice was evaluated. On early oral administration, the hexacyanoferrate had higher antidotal activity than the chelating compds. When given later, oral administration of all antidotes was ineffective, but intraperitoneal administration of the chelating compds. diminished the lethal effect. No marked differences were noted in the effectiveness of the various chelating agents. An optimum therapeutic effect in acute Fe poisoning in children can be obtained if Na hexacyanoferrate is given at once along with intravenous infusion of a chelating agent.]

Supplements to that diet, given singly or together, were 1.2% Ca, 0.5 or 1.0% phytic acid or 55 p.p.m. Zn. Either amount of phytic acid significantly depressed bodyweight if no Zn was added. Supplements of Ca, with or without Zn, had no effect on weight. With 0.5% phytic acid and 55 p.p.m. Zn, Ca significantly reduced growth. Analysis of variance showed no significant interaction between Ca and phytic acid, a small interaction between Ca and Zn and highly significant interactions between Zn and phytic acid and among all 3.
In other experiments 0.1% ethylenediamine tetraacetate almost completely prevented the growth-depressing effect of 0.5% phytic acid when the diet had 18 p.p.m. Zn. When 1.6% calcium phytate replaced phytic acid there was a small but significant depression of growth; 0.8% had no such effect.]

Oral administration of I had a favorable effect on urinary excretion of Pb but sometimes caused diarrhea. No harmful effects were observed in continued and prolonged intraperitoneal treatment. I caused a marked increase of urinary excretion of Pb but had no influence on fecal excretion. It had little influence on the mobilization of Pb stored in bones. I accelerated the increase of the erythrocyte count and the hemoglobin level, and the decrease in basophilic, polychromic erythrocyte, and reticulocyte counts. These reversals are caused by a secondary action of I. Administration of I was followed by increased coproporphyrin excretion in urine. This increase did not coincide with the increase of the hemoglobin level which accompanied the increase of Pb excretion. The increase of coproporphyrin excretion was not accompanied by any clinical symptoms.]

This was Fe 55, Zn 50, Mn 25, Cu 5, I 1.5 and Co 0.5 mg/kg added to the diet. By analysis, Zn contents of the diets were 31.6, 57.2, 78.6, 65.7, 57.5 and 37.8 mg/kg and Cu contents were 5.8, 9.5, 11.2, 10.1, 9.3 and 6.1 mg/kg. Supplements had no effect on growth, feed intake or feed conversion. Blood samples were taken from all pigs on the 1st, 62nd and 92nd days of the trial. Final minus initial Zn in serum was -0.06, -0.08, +0.12, -0.08, -0.34 and -0.36 mg/ml on the 6 diet treatments, respectively. Zn in serum declined linearly with decreasing intake of chelating Zn. Corresponding changes in serum Cu were -0.04, +1.19, +0.76, -0.04, +0.38 and -0.15 mg/ml. At the start and the finish of the experiment samples of hair was ashed and analysed. Zn in hair did not differ significantly among groups. Final minus initial Cu in hair was -12.2, -22.2, -17.0, -39.0, -28.4 and -30.8 mg/g, respectively. AT the end of the experiment length and diameter of the right hind metatarsals were not affected by treatments but breaking strength declined linearly with decreasing chelated minerals, being 286.2, 249.2, 303.1, 239.1, 254.9 and 244.0 kg on the 6 treatments. Mean Zn in the bones was 159.8, 189.4, 179.8, 152.5, 142.2 and 164.8 mg/kg and mean Cu was 6.3, 6.0, 7.1, 6.1, 5.7 and 5.9 mg/kg. It was concluded that supplementary chelated minerals were as useful to the pig as free ones when given in the amounts required, but were less good than none on small intakes.]

Annales de Zootechnie. 1974; 23(4):519-535. (NA46) [2. The fish protein concentration (FPC) studied was made by enzymic hydrolysis of white fish and had about 90% crude protein and Fe 80 mg/kg. In the first trial 3 calves from about 2 weeks old were given 73% of their protein intake from the concentrate, the rest coming from whey with a methionine supplement. While the frequency of diarrhoea was only 2% of study days, soft faeces occurred 74% of the time. Apparent digestibility of crude protein rose from 82% in the first week of the study to 89% in the next 2 weeks and remained at about 92% between 37 and 105 days of age. N retention was high. In the second trial 48 calves were reared in boxes from about 1 week of age to slaughter at 150 kg. After a week for adaptation they were divided into 5 groups; in one group all the protein came from skimmed milk, for the others the FPC formed 18 or 9% of the diet and supplied 68 or 34% of the protein. With each amount of fish protein one of the 2 groups had EDTA to complex the excess Fe provided by the FPC. All feeds were well accepted and the calves remained healthy. The feed with most fish protein gave significantly smaller weight gains than those with less or none. Feed used per kg gained rose with the amount of fish protein given. All the carcasses were satisfactory. The high proportion of fish protein without EDTA gave somewhat dark meat but the EDTA prevented that. It was concluded that with whey, FPC can provide satisfactorily about half the protein for veal calves without significant detriment to performance.]

EDTA, or 0.5 g. citric acid was given in place of an equal wt. of glucose hydrate for 5 days. The rats were then given a single dose of 45Ca and the 48-hr. urine and feces assayed for radioactivity. Hydrobiotite alone increased the fecal loss of 45Ca. In the presence of hydrobiotite together with EDTA or citric acid the fecal and urinary loss of 45Ca was greater than with EDTA or citric acid alone. Both EDTA and citric acid alone reduced fecal Ca loss, but increased its excretion through the kidneys. Similarly, rats were fed a diet of glucose hydrate 32, starch 30, Wesson oil 3, sesame meal 20, soybean protein 5, CaCO32, mineral mixt. 4, and vitamin mixt. 4 g. Hydrobiotite flakes 10, EDTA 1, or phytic acid 1 replaced part of the glucose hydrate. 65Zn was given after 5 days. Hydrobiotite alone did not affect Zn excretion, but in the presence of EDTA it increased urinary and decreased fecal Zn excretion. Hydrobiotite therefore caused greater absorption of 65Zn-EDTA chelate. Phytic acid had no effect.]

(CA54:18787i) [Parenteral dosage with disodium calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (I) reduced hypercholesteremia in human plasma. Renal studies on such subjects revealed increased zincuria following intravenous injection of I. Twelve women with more than 300 mg. cholesterol (II)/100 ml. plasma were studied. Five were hospitalized and received 13-22 g. intravenous I in 5-8 days. Each was diagnosed as having atherosclerosis with coronary arterial involvement. Before I was given the level of II varied from 312 to 466 mg./100 ml. plasma (mean 388 mg.). One patient was hypertensive with no treatment other than rest. Ages ranged from 42-63 years (mean 54). Five were outpatients and were given 42 g. each of I orally over a 21 week period. Of these, 4 were hypertensive without treatment. Ages ranged from 49-65 years (men 54). None was on diet. Only I was given. The last 2 received 800 and 1200 g. I orally over 1-3 years. After the careful collection of 4, 24-hour urine samples, each hospitalized patient received 1.0 g. intravenous I dild. with 500 ml. 5% aq. glucose over a 3-hr. period. On the subsequent 4-7 days, each patient received 3.0 g I in the same manner. Each day of dosage and for day 2 days thereafter, 24-hour urines were taken which included the 3-hour injection period and the remaining 21 hours. Urines were spectrographically examd. for Cr, Ti, Cd, Pb, Mn, Mo Ni, Ag, Sn, V, and Zn. Upon completion of all urine collections, II was detd. in the plasma of each fasting patient. Similarly, 2 24-hour urines were collected from the outpatients and then 1.0 g. of I was orally given 3 times/day. After the first and second weeks, the third and fourth 24-hour urines were collected and volume, Na, pH, protein, sugar, I anion, and Zn were detd., the last colorimetrically by diphenylthiocarbazone. Plasma was examd. in each case for II. In the hospitalized patients zincuria increased 10-fold, mainly within the 1st 24 hours after the first injection of I. Zincuria returned to normal in 48 hrs. Cd, Mn, Pb, and V excretion increased slightly while Mo, Sn, Ag, and Ni remained unchanged. The plasma level of II fell 100 mg. %, the max. decrease occurring after 3 days, and remained const. until 48 hrs. following the last dose of I. The outpatients absorbed from 2-14% of I. Zincuria quadrupled to 1,200 g/day after 1 week of dosage (0.01 meq. Zn/l. urine, as well as 0.3 meq. of I anion). Plasma II and lipoprotein fractions remained unchanged. Urinary vol. increased 40% and the concn. of urine Na remained unchanged. Proteinuria and glycosuria were not found. Renal function may be affected by oral doses of I as only 75% of the plasma II was recovered in the lipoprotein fractions.]

After 7 days 65Zn was given and excreta were collected; after 14 days more, tissue distribution of 65Zn was studied. Faecal excretion of 65Zn was increased by Cd, urinary excretion was increased by EDTA but Zn status of the animals was without effect on 65Zn excretion. Cd generally decreased tissue uptake of 65Zn but its effects were largely due to reduced absorption of the dose. Cd increased the retention of absorbed 65Zn by liver in calves but not in goats. EDTA and Zn status generally had no effect on tissue 65Zn distribution.]

(2185) [In the author's experience, the administration of a single dose of 1 g CaNa2EDTA, given slowly iv, and followed by >1 mg Pb/24 hr urine confirms an excessive Pb burden, and together with clinical observation of abnormalities is valuable in the diagnosis of Pb poisoning. He emphasizes that acute Pb poisoning is a clinical syndrome and not a laboratory diagnosis. He has not yet encountered anyone who has not been exposed to excessive Pb with a 24-hr urinary Pb elimination >1 mg after EDTA; mostly it has been <0.5 mg. Maximum Pb elimination occurs within ~1-2-1/2 hr after EDTA. Therefore it could be an office procedure, by collecting urine for only a few hours. Next, he recommends in the therapy of the "silent," or chronic, phase and acute exacerbation a series of l infusion/wk for several weeks until a large series have been given. Finally, he warns against the oral administration of EDTA, for combination of Pb with it occurs in the intestine, where it is absorbed as the Pb chelate, to be excreted in the urine. Some of the chelate breaks down on the way to the urine, so that there is an increased Pb burden to the soft tissue. Although slight depletion in kidney Pb occurs, an increase of Pb in the liver and occasionally in the brain takes place, leading to a possible encephalopathy.]

Subsequently, half of the poisoned animals and a group of nonpoisoned animals were force-fed 0.,25 g Na2CaEDTA/kg/day for 2 wk. During this 5-wk period, daily urinary and fecal Pb excretion was measured in these animals as well as in a group of animals which had received neither Pb nor Na2CaEDTA. At the end of this period all animals were killed. Erythrocytes, plasma, liver, kidney, brain, spleen, abdominal muscle, washed small intestine, flat bone of the skull and long bone of the hind limb were analyzed for Pb. In the rabbits which received Na2CaEDTA the excretion of Pb shifted markedly from the fecal to the urinary route during the 2 wk of treatment. However, the total amount of Pb which was excreted (urinary and fecal) and the amount of Pb which remained in the tissues did not differ significantly from the Pb values found for the corresponding group which was not treated with Na2CaEDTA.]

Its total effect is a transfer of metal from the intestinal to the urinary route of excretion without appreciable removal of metal from the tissues. Experimental evidence supporting this statement is presented. Increases of urinary Pb excretion by 1 parenteral administration of Na2CaEDTA are much greater in Pb poisoning than in other pathologic or normal conditions and hence are of diagnostic significance. In chronic occupational Pb poisoning, intravenous treatment with 1 infusion/wk mobilizes more Pb/infusion than if the drug is given daily. Clinical improvement under such intermittent therapy is as rapid and as lasting as under continuous therapy. The effect of this reagent on excretion of Fe, Cu, and Zn is discussed briefly.]

Their chief symptoms were abdominal pain (in 40 patients) which frequently took the form of true colics, anemia (in 32), liver enlargement (in 16), gastric duodenitis (in 16). Laboratory tests yielded the following average values: Pb in blood, 120 mg%, Pb in urine, 305 mg/l, urinary coproporphyrin, 60 mg%, protoporphyrin in erythrocytes, 253 mg%, stippled cells, 4100/million.

Average values for urinary Pb and coproporphyrin, Pb in blood, and stippled cells were, respectively: 135 mg/l, 32 mg%, 105 mg%, and 1050/million. Prophylactic treatment with iv doses of 1 g CaEDTA twice a day for 3 days in 32 subjects who showed abnormal Pb absorption enabled all workers to continue their work. Another group of 11 subjects engaged in the production of Pb stearate for 2 mo in a poorly ventilated area in which the atmospheric Pb concentration ranged from 0.20-3.00 mg/m3 was also examined. In spite of treatment with Ca versenate (2 g/day per os for 2 periods of 10 days), almost all subjects complained of abdominal disturbances, nausea, anorexia, 1 subject suffered from typical colic, and 4 from mild toxic hepatitis. Tests for Pb absorption showed elevated values after 15 days of work.
It is concluded that in the course of chronic Pb intoxication, caused by exposure to moderate amounts of Pb stearate, the symptoms resemble those appearing in inorganic Pb intoxication, while in cases of extensive exposure to Pb stearate additional harmful effects occur in the liver.]

Zentralblatt Arbeitsmedizin Arbeitsschutz. 1959; 9:289-292. (2064) [Two groups of 8 Pb-exposed workers each were treated orally for 8 days with 1 and 3 mg Mosatil, respectively, while remaining at their regular work at an average atmospheric concentration of 0.637 mg Pb oxide/m3. Blood and urinary Pb levels, urinary coproporphyrin and stippled cells were determined every other day. The urinary Pb excretion in the 2 groups over 8 days amounted to 13.332 and 17.890 mg/l, respectively. These amounts are higher than those obtained in previous tests when the subjects were treated with the corresponding dosages in the hospital. However, the workers in the present test remained under the exposure of Pb while being treated which may account for part of the increased excretion. No untoward effects of the treatment were noted in any case. The authors emphasize, however, that clinical supervision during EDTA administration is required.]

Zentralblatt Arbeitsmedizin Arbeitsschutz. 1959; 9:180-185. (2063) [Nine men exposed to Pb were treated with 2 g Ca2EDTA/day for 40 days. Urinary and blood Pb, coproporphyrin, stippled erythrocytes and clinical symptoms were compared with those in 8 controls. The treated subjects excreted in the urine an average of 13,960 mg/l of Pb during the 1st 10 days, 13,560 mg/l during the 2nd 10 days and 9180 mg/l during the 3rd 10 days. By the end of the treatment an av 46,760 mg/l was excreted, whereas the untreated were required 158.5 days to excrete the same amount. The decrease of the coproporphyrin was ~3 times greater than in the control group, ie, 6070 mg/l and 16,320 mg/l respectively. The decrease in the number of stippled cells was greatest from the 10th-20th day of treatment. Authors conclude that oral administration of Ca2EDTA is useful in prophylaxis of chronic saturnism. Research is suggested whether smaller amounts of Ca2EDTA may not suffice. Furthermore, the balance of electrolytes should be tested.]

I.m. administration of 1 mg vitamin B12 (I) and 5 mg imferon/week, for 8-23 weeks abolished the anemia. Similar effect was shown by the addn. of FeSO4 to the diet, but CuCl2, EDTA, histidine, fructose, and ascorbic acid, added to the diet, were ineffective. The gastrectomized rats showed decreased food intake and body wt., increased pancreatic wt., and reduced N and fat excretion. In parabiotic pairs, gastrectomy in one rat caused anemia in both animals.]

The L.D.50 of EDTA in the rabbit was 47 mg./kg. intravenously and 2.3 g./kg. orally. The death was preceded by slight convulsion. Intravenously the velocity of injection had great influence on the toxicity; injection of the L.D.50 doses in 10 min. killed none of the test animals. Oral administration of daily 1 g. EDTA/kg. rabbit for 7 days killed all of the test animals. Intravenous injection of daily 10 and 20 mg./kg. EDTA in 5% soln. and oral administration of daily 500 mg./kg. for 1 month killed none of the rabbits; in no case the body wt. decreased nor the urinary contents of protein and urobilinogen changed. The above administrations of EDTA in rabbits caused no change in the no. of leucocytes, no. of erythrocytes, amt. of blood pigment, and distribution of leucocytes. Intravenous injection of daily 10 and 20 mg./kg. or oral administration of 500 mg. and 1 g./kg. EDTA for 1 month in rabbits caused considerable cellular deformations in liver, kidney, endocrine organs, heart muscle, digestive tracts, and brain, while 1 mg./kg. intravenously or 100 mg/kg orally caused slight increase of reticular cells in lymphatic glands and suprarenal glands.]

Oral administration of DTPA, EDTA, Na citrate, or DTPA + Na citrate 1 hr after administration of the isotope increased the absorption and excretion of 244Cm. The latter was detected in significant amts. in the liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, and skeleton, compared with controls not given the chelators. The label was also detected in significant concns. in the urine. The rate of 244Cm absorption and excretion was greater in young than in adult animals and was increased by the compds. in the following order: DTPA + citrate > DTPA > citrate > EDTA. These chelating agents should be used with caution when the isotope has reached the stomach.]
