Abstract
In the present study, aluminum (Al) accumulation has been examined aft er aluminum loading in mice. The kidney, liver, and brain aluminum lev els for mice that had been treated orally with aluminum hydroxide for 105 d and for the control group were determined using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) following an acid digesti on. Matrix modifier consisted of 2% Triton X-100 and 2% Mg (NO3)(2). A l loaded mice showed a significant increase in tissue aluminum levels, relative to the control group.
