“…mucin (Exley, 1998), citrate (Ohman, 1988;Tapparo et al, 1995;Sheikh-Osman, et al, 1993) and lactate (Tapparo et al, 1995;Corain et al, 1992)) in simple solutions and equilibrium conditional Alligand stability constants are known (Martell et al, 1990;Sillen and Martell, 1971). Aluminium-ligand stability constants and/or pAl (-log [Al 3+ ]) are good measures of Al-ligand binding affinities (Martin, 1992;Clevette and Orvig, 1990). Nonetheless, establishing the relative importance of these Al-ligand interactions under intestinal conditions (e.g.…”
