Fluoride plus aluminum: The useful tools in laboratory investigations, but messengers of the false information.

Abstract

Aluminofluoride complexes form spontaneously in aqueosou solutions containing fluoride and traces of aluminum ions and appear to act as phosphate analogs. A new mechanism of fluoride and aluminum action on the cellular level was suggested.
