Aluminum and fluoride impacts cortex and hippocampus structure in rats: protective role of resveratrol.

Jan-March 2017 | International Journal of Applied Biology and Pharmaceutical Technology | Nallagouni CSR and Reddy KP. | 8(1):89-97.
from Results and Discussion: The neuronal damage and aggregation was observed in AlCl 3 + NaF treated group when compared to the control group where as less neuronal damage and aggregation was observed when Resveratrol administered along with AlCl 3 + NaF treatment. No morphological variation was observed in Resveratrol alone treated group as compared to the control group. The amyloid protein plaques were formed in the AlCl 3 +NaF treated group as compared to the control group. The amyloid
