Research Abstract

The study found that the use of BAL and DMPS as chelating agents after long-term of mercuric exposure resulted in considerable recovery in the histopathological, hematological. and biochemical alteration that induced by mercury. However, DMPS has a relative better effect due to its water solubility, less toxicity and its ability to chelate with more metal ions.
