Mitochondrial toxicity of aluminium nanoparticles in comparison to its ionic form on isolated rat brain mitochondria

Abstract

The comparison of mitochondrial toxicity markers between both forms of aluminium revealed that the toxic effect of AlNPs on isolated brain mitochondria was substantially greater than that that caused by AlIs, which can probably be ascribed to its higher reactivity (Tab. 1, Fig. 8, Ref. 45).
