Abstract

To investigate the neurotoxic effects of aluminium (Al) three studies were carried out in which Al was administered: 1) in the diet, 2) as a suspension of aluminium acetate in drinking water and 3) a long-term study in which aluminosilicates were incorporated into a pelleted diet. Admistration of Al in the drinking water significantly reduced total brain biopterin. However, no significant affect of Al in the diet on total bipterins or BH4 synthesis was found.
