In vitro effect of aluminium upon erythrocyte membrane properties
Abstract
The link between aluminium (Al(III)) and a range of disorders in organisms (plants and animals including human beings) has been stated in diverse studies. As regards as human beings in particular, there are numerous studies on this metal's toxicity in relation to pathological processes. Only few references to the metal's effect upon cell rheological properties can be found. In this study, we present evidence for alterations in the rheological properties of cells as consequence of the Al(III)'s interaction with human red blood cell membrane. Al(III) could damage membrane functions of the red blood cell by favouring lipid peroxidation reactions due to the presence of Fe(II) as an initiator. The metal's effect on lipid bilayer, and probably on the cytoskeleton as well, would constitute the cause for the impaired erythrocyte rheology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
