The intestinal Absorption and Tissue Distribution of Gallium and Scandium in the Rat:Prospective Models for Aluminium

Abstract

Aluminium has become increasingly implicated in the aetiology of several neurodegenerative diseases and the oral route of entry is probably responsible for the majority of body aluminium. Research however, has been hampered because of difficulties in analytical procedures and the lack of a suitable radioisotope of aluminium The use of chemically similar Group 3 radioisotopes, 67Ga and 46Sc as analogues for aluminium has proved to be successful....
