Despite the reports on safety concerns regarding the relationship between aluminum salts and neurological and bone disease, many countries continue to use aluminum as phosphate binders among patients with renal failure. In search for a diet supplement that could reduce aluminum toxicity related to renal failure, we carried out this prospective animal study in which the fenugreek seeds were asse...

abstract        background and objective: aluminum salts are among the most common useful additive compounds in preparation of human and animal vaccines. aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide are two additives that show good immunoadjuvant effects with many antigens. aluminum-containing vaccines lead to a better and longer immune response compared to adjuvant-lacking vaccines. the chromogen...

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate concentration-dependently inhibits perspiration and is highly effective in palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. The main effect is in the sealing of the sweat glands, the precipitation of aluminum-mucopolysaccharide-complexes and the damage to the epithelial cells in the excretory ducts of the eccrine sweat glands result in sealing of these ducts. Other aluminum salt...

Partial molar volumes of aluminium chloride, aluminium sulphate and aluminium nitrate have been determined in water rich binary aqueous mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (5, 10, 15, 20% by weight of tetrahydrofuran) with the help of density measurements. The density measurements were made by using Ward and Millero method and results have been analysed by Masson’s equation and interpreted in terms of ...

background: several adjuvants have been evaluated for vaccine formulations but alu-minum salts will continue to be used for many years due to their safety, low cost and adjuvanticity with different antigens. two commonly used aluminum adjuvants, alumi-num hydroxide and aluminum phosphate have different adjuvanticity properties. com-mercial recombinant protein hepatitis b vaccines containing alu...

Most humans living in industrialized societies are routinely exposed to bioavailable aluminum salts in the form of additives-in commercially-prepared foods, alum-clarified drinking water, certain pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, and other topical applications. Minute amounts of this aluminum are absorbed into the circulation. Trace aluminum levels cross the blood-brain barrier and progressively acc...

The only US-licensed anthrax vaccine for human use, as well as several experimental vaccines containing solely purified recombinant protective antigen (rPA), are formulated using aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) as an adjuvant. It has been suggested that effective adjuvanticity of aluminum salts for protein antigens depends, at least partially, on the degree of adsorption of the antigen to the adju...
