The effects of aluminium and aluminium-citrate on some serum parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism in male Wistar rats were investigated. Daily intraperitoneal administrations of 1 mg/kg body weight of aluminium or aluminiumcitrate (1: 1) for 50 days led to the elevation of serum insulin by 24 or 40 percent respectively, with the concomitant decrease in serum glucose concentrations ...

investigation of aluminium uptake by human erythrocytes was the major aim of this study. packed red blood cells were incubated in earle's medium (ph 7.4) containing varying concentrations of aluminium (0-160 /lg/j) as aik(so.), and aluminium content of the cells were determined using flameless atomic absorption. there was significant increase in aluminium content of the cells. addition of ...

1. Rat gut perfusion studies in vivo at pH 4, 6 or 8 using aluminium chloride or equimolar aluminium chloride and sodium citrate showed that elevated plasma aluminium concentrations were associated with aluminium solubility in the perfusion. Elevated plasma aluminium levels and soluble aluminium in the perfusate occurred with perfusion of equimolar aluminium chloride and sodium citrate at all t...

The use of potassium ferrate(VI) as an alternative water treatment chemical for both drinking water and sewage treatment has been studied and is reported in this paper. The performance of potassium ferrate(VI) was evaluated in comparison with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and NaOCl plus ferric sulphate (FS) and aluminium sulphate (AS). The effects of the dosages of ferrate(VI), NaOCl and FS/AS an...

INTRODUCTION Aluminium is a known neurotoxin and occupational exposure to aluminium has been implicated in neurological disease including Alzheimer's disease. Here we present the first comprehensive and unequivocal data demonstrating significantly elevated brain aluminium content in an individual occupationally exposed to aluminium. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old Caucasian man who died with ...

The effect of limestone replacement in the reaction and phase assemblage evolution two sodium sulfate activated slag cements was investigated. composition its reactivity influenced kinetics these materials. Paste with addition exhibited an acceleration kinetics, particularly for slowly reacting slags. Ettringite aluminium substituted calcium silicate hydrate were identified as main products cem...
