Popis: Objective: To investigate the effects of aluminium sulphate on the microscopic morphology of the liver and on vitamin E amelioration of aluminium-induced liver damage. Methods: Rats were injected intraperitoneally with aluminium sulphate alone or aluminiurn sulphate together with vitamin F, with saline injected rats used as the control group. The study took place in Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine in 2005. Results: The rats exposed to aluminiurn showed morphological changes in addition to previously reported biochemical changes in the liver. The antioxidant vitamin E significantly diminished the liver damage seen due to aluminium. Conclusion: There is an apparent protective effect of vitamin E on parenteral aluminiurn exposure.
