| Application: | Nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate has been used: • in the preparation of nickel platting solution for galvanostatically coating nickel inside the reduced carbon layer during the synthesis of multiwall carbon nanotube micromotors • in screening of metals for inflammatory effect on vascular endothelial cells • as an additive in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) to analyse excitatory post synaptic currents (EPSPs) in the hippocampus slices |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Nickel (Ni) is an essential trace element that plays an important role in the structure and function of DNA, RNA and protein. It has toxic effects on renal, pulmonary and cardiovascular system at higher concentrations. Nickel is implicated in carcinogenesis. Ni2+ ions is a clastogenic agent. Nickel ions (Ni2+) is a non-specific voltage-gated calcium channel blocker. |
