Oxidative stress is considered as a possible molecular mechanism involved in lead (Pb(2+)) neurotoxicity. Very few studies have been investigated on the occurrence of oxidative stress in developing animals due to Pb(2+) exposure. Considering the vulnerability of the developing brain to Pb(2+), this study was carried out to investigate the effects of Pb(2+) exposure in brain regions especially on antioxidant enzyme activities along with ameliorative effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and clinoptilolite.
