Title:

Depletion of Essential Elements by Calcium Disodium EDTA Treatment in the Dog

Author:

Ibim SEM et al.

Year:

1992

Bibliographic source:

Toxicology 73; 229-237

Materials and methods

Objective of study:

other: Effects of CaNa2EDTA on the metabolism of Zn, Cu, Mn

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The effect of calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CaNa2EDTA) on the metabolism of Zn, Cu and Mn was investigated in mongrel female dogs. Dogs received either CaNa2EDTA subcutaneously or 0.9% NaCl (controls). Urine was collected every 6 h. Tissue samples were obtained from liver, kidney, duodenum, muscle, hair, skin and bone post exsanguination.

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Canine Control Center
- Diet: Purina Dog Chow (concentration of Zn, Cu or Mn was 1.25; 0.16; or 0.98 mg/g dry weight, respectively)
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 3-4 weeks

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 25°C

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

subcutaneous

Vehicle:

water

Duration and frequency of treatment / exposure:

54 h

Doses / concentrations

Remarks:

Doses / Concentrations:
280 mg/kg/6 h (original data: 0.75 mmol/kg/6 h)

No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:

5

Control animals:

other: 0.9% sterile NaCl

Details on dosing and sampling:

- Body fluids sampled: urine; every 6 h
- Tissues sampled: liver, kidney, upper duodenum (upper small intestine), muscle (thigh), bone (femur), hair and skin.

Statistics:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s new multiple range test were used to test for differences between groups. Differences between means were tested by two-way unpaired Student’s t-test.

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on excretion:

- CaNa2EDTA to dogs caused a significant increase in urine flow when compared to controls

URINARY EXCRETION OF ZN
- significant increase in the excretion of Zn when compared to control (cumulative excretion within 54 h: 24.92 + /- 0.346 mg compared to 1.58 + /- 0.24 mg in the control)
- Maximal excretion of Zn occurred between 6 and 12 h of treatment (17% of total Zn)

URINARY EXCRETION OF CU
CaNa2EDTA treatment resulted in a significant increase in the excretion of Cu when compared to control (cumulative excretion within 54 h: 0.922 + /- 0.24 mg compared to 0.12 + /- 0.03 mg in the control)

URINARY EXCRETION OF MN
CaNa2EDTA treatment resulted in a significant increase in the excretion of Mn when compared to control (cumulative excretion within 54 h: 0.582 + /- 0.166 mg compared to 0.042 + /- 0.01 mg in the control)

Metabolite characterisation studies
