The Effects of Ingested Aluminium on Brain Cytochrome Oxidase Activity

Issue: 
Pages: 
422–7
Synopsis: 
When rabbits were maintained on a diet supplemented with aluminium, a 35% decrease in brain cytochrome c oxidase activity (COX) was observed. Isolation of number of the enzyme’s low molecular weight subunits was absent.

Elevated Ferric, Calcium and Magnesium Ions in the Brain Induce Protein Aggregation in Brain Mitochondria

Issue: 
Pages: 
122–7
Synopsis: 
This study evaluated the impact of elevated aluminum, ferric, calcium and magnesium ions on rabbit brain. Aluminum ion, but not the others, induced neurofibrillary degeneration within the midbrain and medulla. On the other hand, the other three ions caused aggregation of low molecular weight mitochondrial proteins.

 

ABSTRACT

Objective: Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are two of several neurodegenerative disorders that affect the elderly. Although their aetiology remains uncertain, studies suggest that elevated aluminium or other metal ions in the brain directly influence the development of the histological abnormalities normally associated with these diseases; other investigations suggest that metal-ioninduced-dysfunction of mitochondria might be a critical factor.
