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.

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,

Vitamin D deficiency in patients with diabetes and its correlation with water fluoride levels.
Chronic exposure to fluoride through drinking water has been linked to insulin resistance and resulting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Here, we aim to study the impact of water fluoride levels on blood glucose and vitamin D levels. A hospital-based study was conducted on diabetic patients (n = 303) at

Effect of fluoride intake on carbohydrate metabolism, glucose tolerance, and insulin signaling.
Fluoride is known to cause both local and systemic alterations in animals and humans, such as dental fluorosis and disturbances in glucose homeostasis. The effects of fluoride are dose dependent and can produce decreased insulin secretion, inhibition of glycolysis, glycogen depletion, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance. Because excessive ingestion of fluoride

Correlation between serum fluoride and hyperglycemia in endemic fluorosis area
As fluoride inhibits Glycolysis we conducted a preliminary study to analyse the effect of fluoride on blood glucose in the individuals of endemic fluorosis area . The study was conducted to correlate the serum fluoride with blood glucose levels in a population living in endemic fluorosis area The present study included serum

Fluorosis--a rare complication of diabetes insipidus.
The familial pituitary or central diabetes insipidus (DI) is a relatively rare condition with variable onset, from birth to several years of age and variable severity within a family and in individuals over time(l). Severe dehydration and growth retardation, though rare are known compilations of DI. However, dental fluorosis as

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
