title: Evidence for a hydroxy-aluminium polymer (Al13) in synaptosomes.
abstract: The presence of the hydroxy-aluminium polymer (Al13-(OH)24O4(H2O)12(7+)) was noticed inside synaptosomes when synaptosomes were incubated with Al(NO3)3 at neutral pH values. Dysprosium nitrate (Dy(NO3)3)--a shift reagent--facilities the identification of the Al13 species distinctly inside the synaptosomes. 27Al NMR was used as a tool to detect the Al13 complex inside and outside the synaptosomes.
