Abstract

Introduction: Patients with chronic renal failure have abnormal thyroid function and higher
serum aluminum (AI). In recent years the toxicity of AI in human and animals has been a matter of
concern. In this study the effect of high AI intake in the diet has been investigated in rats. Materials
and Methods: Aluminum (1620mg/kg of the diet as aluminum chloride) was added to the diet of
Wistar rats for 40 days. At the end of this period serum AI, T4 and TSH concentrations were
measured. AI was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry and the hormones were assayed
using commercially available kits. Results: Serum AI concentration of the test rats (6.3±0.1 mg/I) was
not significantly different from controls (6.6±0.4 mg/I). Serum T3 concentration in animals consuming
diet with high AI content (138±8 ng/dl) was significantly lower compared to the control animals
(146±7 ng/dl). Serum T4 concentration of the test animals (3.0±0.3 mg /dl) was also significantly
lowers than control animals (4.7±0.5 mg/dl). Thyrotropin concentrations were not significantly
different. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that high AI intake in rats can disturb
thyroid function and the possible adverse effect(s) of the element should be considered and fully
investigated in subjects in close contact with high amounts.
