Lead and other heavy metals are considered a toxin, when present in a biological system. But some ancient forms of medicine like ayurveda, siddha, Unani-tibb include mineral preparations containing heavy metals in their formulations, but its therapeutic value is contested. Heavy metals are toxic, but their oxides are not. Bhasmas and rasa are formulations in the Indian system of medicines which contain heavy metals, but there toxicity is attributed to incorrect preparations.[1]

Lead intoxication

Symptoms of lead intoxication include constipation, colic, headache, vomiting, blue lines in the upper lip, jaundice, bilious tinge of the conjunctivae, bile in urine, anemia. Some neurological and muscular symptoms include lead tremor and dropped wrists.[2]

Lead acetate which was used as a sweetener, was attributed to be one of the major factors contributing to fall of the Roman Empire (not to be confused with the Holy Roman Empire).

Response of frog heart to lead

Frog heart which has the inert ability (most of the vertebrate hearts have this ability since it has its own indigenous conduction system ,which is autonomic) to continue beating even in the presence of toxicant such as chloroform, restoration is observed in strophathus, tyramine, strontium chloride, caffeine, diuretine, but one of them failed pituitrin; the most effective restoration is observed with adrenaline. Thus makes it an ideal model to assess the activity of lead on a living tissue. This experiment mainly concentrates on the frog heart being depressed by chloroform, what drugs if any are able to cause more or less restoration of the heart beat in the continued presence of chloroform. The whole experiment is done under continue perfusion of Ringer's fluid.[3]

Frog heart contraction

The contracting ability of the frog heart increases when the frog is fasted for a duration or so. Response can also be obtained on a fresh frog.The contractibility is mainly attributed to intracellular calcium signalling.[4]
