Aims: Aluminum (Al) is an important environmental contaminant; however, there are not enough evidences of Al-induced cardiovascular dysfunction. We investigated the effects of acute exposure to aluminum chloride (AlCl) on blood pressure, vascular reactivity and oxidative stress.
Methods And Results: Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: Untreated: vehicle (ultrapure water, ip) and AlCl: single dose of AlCl (100mg/kg,ip).
