A recent paper caught my eye since it claimed that the use of the chelation agent, DMPS/Succimer, may contribute to cognitive deficits if used in the absence of lead contamination of an animal model.
This is a good paper, but I'm just not entirely convinced the the data. Dunno, maybe it's just me. The bottom line is that if one is convinced by their data that succimer treatment can alleviate lead-induced cognitive deficits, then I believe that one has to be convinced by their data that succimer treatment in the absence of lead contamination induces cognitive defects itself - that's a huge and scary statement.
Check it out.
