“…The levels attained in blood and liver were consistent with previous reports using similar doses (Vandervoet et al 1992). Although the doses used were high (approximately 10 mg Al/kg body weight) compared to the normal human intake (Fimreite et al 1997)), there are clinically important situations when these normal intakes may be greatly exceeded (Erasmus et al 1995;Chugh et al 1996). Aluminium appears to accumulate in the liver rapidly after an acute load in both animal models and clinically, whether given intravenously, or orally (Neill et al 1996;Quartley et al 1993;Spencer et al 1995;Wilhelm et al 1996).…”

Summary. It has been proposed that aluminium toxicity may be mediated, at least in part, by free radical generation. We have investigated the effects of aluminium lactate administration on indices of hepatic oxidant stress, and the consequences of concomitant dietary vitamin E, in male albino Wistar rats. Aluminium lactate was administered for 4 weeks, by ip injection at 10 mg aluminium/kg body weight. Groups of animals received a chow diet containing 0, 5, 15, or 20 mg vitamin E/g of food. A control group of rats received a normal chow diet, without being injected with aluminium. The rats were killed after 4 weeks, and blood and liver tissue removed for the measurement of aluminium and markers of oxidative stress. Plasma and liver aluminium levels were increased in all groups of animals receiving aluminium lactate (P < 0.01), although these levels were significantly reduced in rats receiving concomitant vitamin E (P < 0.05). Aluminium treatment was associated with significantly increased levels of hepatic reactive oxygen species (ROS) (P < 0.01) that were attenuated by concomitant vitamin E (P < 0.05). Hepatic catalase and reduced glutathione levels were both reduced in animals treated with aluminium (P < 0.05).

“…The consumption of 200 g of the B. glandulifera pulp provides more than 100% of the Al and Fe RDI values. Despite its importance in several physiological process such as oxygen transportation in the muscles [16], Fe excess (average intake is 14 mg/d) may be associated with oxidative stress, as well as Al excess (intake ranges from 0.3 to 3.6 mg/d) is involved in bone phosphate mobilization, thus influencing ionic balance [17,18].…”

Bunchosia glandulifera is an exotic species found in southern of Brazil, of which the pulp and toasted seed are much used because of their stimulating properties and nutritional values. However, few scientific data are reported about the chemical composition of the B. glandulifera fruit and the benefits its consumption. The aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid, proximate and mineral composition of the fruit. The results revealed that soluble solids and sugars are present at high concentration in the pulp, whereas the seed predominantly contained protein and ash. According to the particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) measurement, the elemental composition revealed that K, P, Ca, and Mg are the most abundant minerals in the fruit. Interestingly, the ingestion of 200 g of the fruit provides 100% of the recommended daily ingestion (RDI) of some elements. Moreover, among the seventeen fatty acids found in the pulp and seed, palmitic acid (C16:0) was found to be the most concentrated.

“…Many subsequent studies have shown that Al can be mobilized from Al cookware, particularly by acidic and alkaline foods. These are pH conditions where Al is more soluble than at circumneutral pH (Fimreite, Hansen, and Pettersen 1997;Scancar, Stibilj, and Milacic 2003;Neelam, Bamji, and Kaladhar 2000;Gramiccioni et al 1996). It has also been demonstrated that NaCl can increase Al mobilization from Al vessels (Datta 1935;Inoue, Ishiwata, and Yoshihara 1988;Takeda, Kawamura, and Yamada 1998;Fukushima and Tanimura 1998).…”
