Abstract
Decreasing of the insulin concentration and increasing of the C-peptide level in blood serum of 72 workers of cryolytes industries detected by radioimmunilogical method. These changes were caused by the fluorine intoxication of workers.

Inorganic plasma fluoride concentrations and its renal excretion in certain physiological and pathological conditions in man
In a study involving 2200 patients the inorganic plasma fluoride concentration (IPFC) increased with increasing age. In a fluoridated (1 ppm) community this increase was more pronounced than in a low fluoride (0.2 ppm) community. The mean renal clearance of fluoride and the daily amounts excreted also increased slightly until

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,

[Chronic fluoride intoxication as a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis]
In workers employed in the aluminum industry, the main harmful production factor is exposure to fluoride salts, which can cause chronic fluoride intoxication. For the assessment of the impact of chronic fluoride intoxication on the development of atherosclerosis, we conducted a comprehensive survey of 87 aluminum-metal makers with chronic fluoride

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

Effects of fluoride on metabolism and mechanical properties of rat bone
Young rats were maintained, over a 2-week period, on laboratory chow and distilled water or water supplemented with 200 ppm fluoride. Metaphyseal and diaphyseal bone of the femurs and tibias of control and treated rats were analyzed. After fluoride treatment there was a decrease of lipid and citrate content and

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

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
