| Research Abstract |
The pollution caused by the military use of depleted uranium and renewed interests in nuclear energy have raised increasing concern about uranium toxicity. The dose-response relationship between uranium accumulation and tissue damage, however, has not been demonstrated, primarily due to a lack of suitable analytical methodologies for measuring trace levels of uranium in tissues. In the present study, a method of analysis to reveal uranium localization in tissues was established using nano-beam elemental analysis and applied for uranium induced renal toxicity. Uranium selectively concentrated in the down stream of the proximal tubules more than 500-fold higher than the dose and caused renal apoptosis and lesions in the site.
