| Abstract: | Normal and uremic adult male rats were given a daily ip injection of 20 mg Al (Al chloride)/kg for 14 d. The results indicate
that Al induces a significant decrease in food ingestion, weight gain, and total protein concentration in the plasma. Compared
with control animals, very high increases in Al levels were found in plasma and hepatic homogenates (about 36 and 19 times,
respectively). In the brain homogenates, the Al increases were lower (about 23%). The brain cholineacetyltransferase activity
was reduced: 10.6 and 14.9% in normal and uremic rats, respectively. The nephrectomy and the food restriction did not affect
the total protein concentrations in plasma and the cerebral cholineacetyltransferase activity. Both were only found to be
reduced in the rats treated by Al chloride. |
