Summary
Intracerebral administration of aluminium cream (aluminium hydroxide) in rabbits resulted in the development of pathological EEG, convulsive seizures, paresis of the extremities and neuronal changes consisted in a focal clearings in the cytoplasm filled by neurofibrillary tangles. In principle, the topography of the neurofibrillary changes was the same as that observed byKlatzo, Wiśniewski andStreicher in rabbits after injection of aluminium phosphate.
Zusammenfassung
Intracerebrale Applikation von Aluminiumpaste (Aluminiumoxyd) bei Kaninchen führte zum Auftreten von pathologischen EEG-Veränderungen, Krampf-anfällen, Extremitätenparesen sowie von Nervenzellveränderungen in Form fokaler Cytoplasmaaufhellungen, die von verplumpten Neurofibrillen erfüllt sind. Die Topographie der neurofibrillären Veränderungen entsprach grundsätzlich den Beobachtungen vonKlatzo, Wiśniewski u.Streicher an Kaninchen nach Injektion von Aluminiumphosphat.
