Lead induced oxidative stress and its recovery following co-administration of melatonin or N-acetylcysteine during chelation with succimer in male rats
This study examined the effectiveness of melatonin and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), both alone and in combination with the chelating agent meso 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), in mitigating lead-induced oxidative stress in male rats. The research evaluated reductions in lead concentrations in blood and soft tissues, as well as the restoration of hematopoietic,
