Do methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, cyclohydrolase, and formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase 1 polymorphisms modify changes in intelligence of school-age children in areas of endemic fluorosis?
Background: Excessive exposure to fluoride can reduce intelligence. Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, cyclohydrolase, and formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase 1 (MTHFD1) polymorphisms have important roles in neurodevelopment. However, the association of MTHFD1 polymorphisms with children’s intelligence changes in endemic fluorosis areas has been rarely explored. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four randomly selected primary schools in Tongxu County, […]

Association Between Antioxidant Nutrients, Oxidative Stress-Related Gene Polymorphism and Skeletal Fluorosis in Guizhou, China.
Introduction Fluorosis has become a public health problem worldwide. Excessive fluoride intake can disrupt the processes of bone formation and resorption, which may lead to bone turnover disorders and further result in skeletal fluorosis (1). More than 16.1 million dental fluorosis patients and 1.8 million patients with skeletal fluorosis have been reported in the Chinese […]

High levels of fluoride in groundwater from Northern parts of Indo-Gangetic plains reveals detrimental fluorosis health risks.
Highlights This study provides an overview of fluoride distribution and health risks in the fluoride endemic region of Northern Indo-Gangetic Plain. Groundwater fluorides concentration exceeded the safe drinking water limit in 98% of sampling locations. Health hazard index (HQFluoride) exceeded the unitary value in all the individual groups signifying that the study region is under […]

Association of Dietary Calcium Intake with Dental, Skeletal and Non-Skeletal Fluorosis among Women in the Ethiopian Rift Valley.
1. Introduction Drinking water sources in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia contain fluoride (F) levels exceeding the World Health Organization (WHO) limit of 1.5 mg/L [1,2]. As a consequence, many people living in the region are severely affected by fluorosis [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. In serious cases, dental fluorosis is manifested as brown mottling of the enamel and […]
