Abstract
The study contains the results of fluoride testing done on 31 fetal specimens. It demonstrates that fluoride can pass through the placenta into the fetus, that bone tissues shows the highest levels of fluoride while brain tissue shows the lowest, and that overall level of fluoride increases with the fluoride burden of the mother and the age of the fetus.

Serum inorganic fluoride: changes related to previous fluoride intake, renal function and bone resorption
1. Inorganic fluoride concentrations were determined in serum and urine specimens of 24 subjects receiving a standardized low fluoride intake. Serum fluoride was directly correlated with previous intake and appeared to reflect bone fluoride stores. 2. A positive correlation between creatinine and fluoride clearance was found. However, striking reductions in

Sodium Fluoride F 18: Summary of Use during Lactation.
Drug Levels and Effects Information in this record refers to the use of sodium fluoride F 18 as a diagnostic agent. The manufacturer recommends withholding breastfeeding for 24 hours after a diagnostic dose of 300-450 MBq (8 to 12 mCi); however, this time might be longer than necessary given the minimal

Oligophrenie mongolienee et caries dentaires
Une enquête épidémiologique sur la fréquence du mongolisme dans quelques Etats du Midwest américain nous a permis de mettre en évidence les faits suivants: 1: un parallélisme entre la fréquence du mongolisme et la teneur en fluor de l'eau de boisson; 2: une rareté relative des caries dentaires chez les mongoliens; 3: une

Fluoride pharmacokinetics in infancy
Fluoride pharmacokinetic data are presented for infants given a fluoride supplement. Seventeen infants participated in a total of 20 studies. On one day, 0.013 mmol (0.25 mg) fluoride was given as a supplement (fluoride supplement study), and on another day a placebo was given (control study). Samples of plasma and

Effects of fluorine on the human fetus.
In an endemic fluorosis area, 16 fetuses that were delivered during their sixth to eighth month of gestation by means of artificial abortion were collected and studied. The results [compared to 10 control fetuses from a non-endemic area] show that fluorine levels in tissues are obviously high, especially in brain, calvarium, and femur. The activity of alkaline
