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.

  • 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

  • Therapeutic benefits of glibenclamide in fluoride intoxicated diabetic rats.

    To examine its antidiabetic potential in fluoride (F) intoxicated rats, the anti-diabetic drug glibenclamide was administered for 4 weeks to diabetic rats and to diabetic rats exposed to 100 mg NaF/L in the drinking water. In the F treated rats there was a significant reduction in plasma glucose, plasma 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,

  • Antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipemic effects of Mangifera Indica L. in fluoride induced toxicity.

    A chronic intake of fluoride through food and drinking water is also known to cause hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia besides fluorosis. The present study deals with the effects of fluoride (100 ppm) induced hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia and the alleviatory potential of Mangifera indica L. on the carbohydrate and lipid profiles in

  • Effects of fluoride on insulin signaling and bone metabolism in ovariectomized rats

    Fluoride is an essential trace element for the maintenance of bone health owing to its capacity to stimulate proliferation and osteoblastic activity that can lead to increased bone formation. However, excessive sodium fluoride (NaF) intake can impair carbohydrate metabolism thereby promoting hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and changes in insulin signaling. Thus,

  • Fluoride & Impaired Glucose Tolerance

    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

  • Fluoride & Insulin

    Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is responsible for maintaining appropriate levels of glucose in the blood. Insulin allows the body’s cells to take up glucose from the blood, and either use it as an energy source or store it as glycogen. Blood glucose levels in diabetics
