Abstract

Intravenous infusion of 6 mg of fluoride/kg/hr for 3 hr caused a sharp decrease in formation of respiratory ¹⁴CO₂ from [¹⁴C]glucose, regardless of position of the label. Oxidation of [1-¹⁴C]fructose was not impaired, indicating that triose metabolism was not hindered; this information, along with the similarity in depression of metabolism of all labels indicated that glycolysis was not impaired. Glycogen deposition was decreased. The data suggest that the interference caused by fluoride at the observed concentrations is located at or prior to phosphorylation of glucose.

    Composite examinations of 116 persons, employees of Phosphate Fertilizers Plant in Gdansk, with an average length of service ca. 15 years, were carried out. It was found that the frequency of occurrence of the chronic non-specific diseases of the lungs was not higher than in other works where dust and

  • Absence of detrimental effects of fluoride exposure in diabetic rats.

    This study is part of a comprehensive programme to investigate fluoride toxicity and the hypothesis that fluoride ingested by "medically compromised' animals will result in altered physiological function. Its objectives were to monitor fluoride retention, tissue fluoride concentrations and genetic variables in diabetic and control rats chronically exposed to fluoride,

  • Fluoride intake, distribution, and bone content in diabetic rats consuming fluoridated drinking water

    SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to determine how metabolic and functional changes in diabetes affect the fluoride intake, distribution, and concentration in bone tissue; and whether alterations in fluoride metabolism in diabetes may influence the severity of the disorder. Two groups of rats received 0 (C) or 10

  • Low-level fluoride exposure increases insulin sensitivity in experimental diabetes

    The effect of chronic fluoride (F) exposure from the drinking water on parameters related to glucose homeostasis was investigated. Wistar rats were randomly distributed into 2 groups (diabetic [D] and nondiabetic [ND]; n = 54 each). In D, diabetes was induced with streptozotocin. Each group was further divided into 3

    The proper regulation of blood glucose levels is essential to good health. When the body's ability to regulate blood glucose levels falters, as occurs in diabetes mellitus, chronic elevated glucose levels (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious complications. These consequences include damage to the kidneys, nervous system, cardiovascular system, retina, legs
