Abstract/Summary
Accumulation of aluminum in the vital organs of male guinea pigs exposed to a sublethal concentration of 225 mg/kg of 0.1M Aluminum chloride for 5 days was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Among the five organs analyzed in the treated group the brain had the highest aluminum accumulation (11.00 ug/g), followed by the liver (4.43 ug/g) then small intestine (4.20 ug/g), and kidney (2.57 ug/g). The least accumulation of aluminum was observed in the heart (2.00 ug/g). Between the control and treated groups, there is no significant difference in aluminum concentration found in the vital organs of the guinea pigs.
