The excretion of trace elements in rat urine after treatment with 2,3-dimercaptopropane sodium sulfonate

B Gabard et al. Toxicology. 1979 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Administration of various doses of the chelating agent 2,3-dimercaptopropane sodium sulfonate (Dimaval, DMPS) leads to a greatly enhanced excretion of Zn and Cu. The excretion of Co, Mn, Ni and Fe remains unchanged. The relevance of these findings to the toxicity of DMPS is discussed.
