Chronic exposure to metals such as manganese and aluminum could contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, according to several studies conducted in different countries, including Brazil.
Now, a new study conducted at the Bio-Inorganic and Environmental Toxicology Laboratory (Labita) within the Institute of Environmental, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (ICAQF) at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp) indicates that the chemical form of these metals could directly and differently influence their level of neurotoxicity on animals and humans.
