ABSTRACT
We investigated the therapeutic effects of EDTA application for 14 and 28 days on cadmium (Cd) induced pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758). The sublethal concentration of cadmium (63.4 mg/l Cd) caused tissue damages to the snail after an exposure for 28 days.In the groups treated with EDTA, the concentration of Cd in the foot, mantle and hepatopancreas tissues showed significantly decreased during the recovery period. The curative effects of EDTA on Cd-induced damage were assessed using a scoring system. Cadmium exposure led to histopathological changes including increased mucositis, pigment and protein cells, foot epithelium desquamation, muscle fibril damage, connective tissue cell atrophy, and increased lipid vacuoles in the mantle and hepatopancreas. However, these changes were less severe in snails treated with EDTA (2.00 mL/L for 28 day), indicating that EDTA reduces their susceptibility to heavy metal toxicity.
