Abstract

The joint actions were assessed by four methods after male Wistar rats had been acutely intoxicated with nine proportional mixtures of Al and F. Strong antagonistic effects of Al on F were observed in the mixtures, in which the ratio of Al to F ranged from 0.8:0.2 to 0.1:0.9. The optimum ratio of Al to F for antagonism ranged from 0.3:0.7 to 0.1:0.9 without periorbital bleeding that was a regular finding in Al acute toxicity on the rat to be seen. When the amount of Al in the mixture was below 5% or above 90%, no antagonistic effect was shown. The kinetics on the absorption under the condition of Al and F existing simultaneously is still unknown, and warrants further investigation.
