The levels of amino acid neurotransmitters in chicken brains were determined by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） after being exposed of Al for 60 days, and Al levels in serum and brain tissue were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry （AAS）. The results showed that Glu levels increased with the increase of Al, but there was no significant difference compared with the control. The levels of Al, Asp, Gly, GABA and Tau were significantly higher in Al-treated groups than those in the control. The results indicated that Al intoxication led to excitatory neurotoxicity.展开更多

A total of 48 male Wistar rats （4 weeks old） were randomly divided into four groups： experimental groups were orally exposed to 64.18, 128.36, 256.72 mg. kg^-1 body weight aluminum trichloride （AlCl3） in drinking water, and the control group with distilled water. The experiment lasted for 120 days. The activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-PX）, the concentration of malondialdehyde （MDA） in serum and liver, and alanine transarninase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） activities in serum were detected in all groups. The results showed that the activities of ALT, AST in serum and the concentrations of MDA in liver in the Al-treated groups significantly increased compared with the control group; the activities of GSH-PX and SOD in high-dose Al-treated group were significantly lower than those in control group. Our findings indicated that subchronic AI exposure could result in injures of lipid peroxidation and function in liver.展开更多
