The lead (Pb) chelator, meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) may be effective in reversing some of the adverse effects of Pb exposure. Pb-induced behavioral deficits observed in fish are due to disruptions in the integrative functioning of the medulla, cerebellum, and optic tectum. Pb exposure increased serotonin (5-HT) content in all three brain regions without an effect on 5-hydroxy-3-indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Pb exposure followed by no Pb in the diet increased 5-HT and 5-HIAA content in all three brain regions. The replacement of dietary Pb with DMSA had no effect on 5-HT and increased 5-HIAA content. DMSA increased 5-HIAA content in all three brain regions and increased 5-HT content only the optic tectum. Treatment with DMSA may be more effective than removal of Pb from the diet in reversing Pb-induced alterations in 5-HT.
