Heavy metal induced oxidative stress & its possible reversal by chelation therapy
This review explores the mechanisms by which heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury induce toxicity through oxidative stress by generating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, disrupting cellular defense mechanisms, and impairing essential enzymes and proteins. Chelation therapy, using agents like CaNa₂EDTA, BAL, DMPS, and DMSA, is a
