Aluminum alters NMDA receptor 1A and 2A/B expression on neonatal hippocampal neurons in rats

摘要

BackgroundHigh aluminum (Al) content in certain infant formula raises the concern of possible Al toxicity on brain development of neonates during their vulnerable period of growing. Results of in vivo study showed that Al content of brain tissues reached to 74 μM when oral intake up to 1110 μM, 10 times of that in the hi-Al infant formula.
