Abstract

Plasma-sprayed alumina on 316L stainless steel discs was implanted in Sprague-Dawley rats for six months; at which time the animals were sacrificed, and selected tissues analyzed for aluminum concentration using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The liver, testes, and kidneys exhibited significant increases in aluminum ion concentration.
