S-adenosyl-l-methionine a counter to lead intoxication?

1. 1. The effect of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) administration to both acute and chronic lead exposed mice was investigated. 2. 2. SAM was given s.c. at different doses and for different time intervals. The best results were obtained using 20 mg SAM/kg applied daily over a period of 20-22 days. 3....

A clear and direct correlation between the recovery of both ALA-D activity and GSH levels and the decreased concentration of lead in tissues was observed, reinforcing our proposal that enhancement of thiol content as a result of SAM administration would facilitate the detoxification process and lead removal, consequently reversing the inactivation of the enzyme. 8. 8.
