Abstract
1. The effect of sodium fluoride (NaF) on gastrointestinal tracts of rats was investigated. 2. Blood flow rate in rat stomach mucosa was only 30% of the initial rate during 30-60 min after a single oral dose (300 mg/kg) of NaF. 3. The addition of NaF (final NaF concentration: 50 and 100 ppm) in vitro gave the reduction of 10 and 28%, respectively, of initial free calcium ion levels in rat blood. 4. These results indicate that oral ingestion of excess amount of NaF caused dilatation of blood vessel and greatly decreased blood flow rate to accumulate the circulating blood in the mucosa of gastrointestinal tract to cause redness.

The impact of sevoflurane anesthesia on postoperative renal function: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials.
Purpose: Renal damage secondary to fluoride ions and compound A (CpdA) after sevoflurane anesthesia remains unclear. For safety reasons, some countries still recommend minimum fresh-gas flows (FGFs) with sevoflurane. We review the evidence regarding the intraoperative use of sevoflurane for anesthesia maintenance and postoperative renal function compared with

Skeletal fluorosis: an unusual metabolic bone complication for HPN patients
Rationale: Prevalence and pathophysiology of HPN-associated metabolic bone disease (MBD) xe patially unknown. Therefore, we began a systematic review of 0ur patients in order to increase our knowledge in this paticular field. Here, we report two cases of skeletal fluorosis, an unusual HPN-related bone abnormality. Method: Until now, 12 patients (6

Haematological changes in fluorotic adults and children in fluoride endemic regions of Gaya district, Bihar, India.
Groundwater used for drinking and cooking was analysed for fluoride (F), and health surveys were conducted in Bodh Gaya, Amas and Bankebazaar blocks of the Gaya district, Bihar, India. Amas and Bankebazaar blocks were F endemic areas with mean F = 2.36 ± 0.23 mg/L (N = 27). Bodh Gaya was considered as control area with

Histopathological effects of sodium fluoride on the duodenum of rabbit
To gain a better understanding of how fluoride causes gastrointestinal distress, we conducted an experimental study on rabbits to evaluate damage to the gastroduodenal tissue by sodium fluoride. Young albino rabbits weighing 400-600 g were injected daily with 5, 10, 20, and 50 mg NaF/kg bw for fifteen weeks and

Fluoride: a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease?
Although the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and oral hygiene has been noticed before, there has been little research on prolonged fluoride exposure as a possible risk factor. In the presented cases, exposure to fluoride seems indirectly associated with higher incidence of IBD. Fluoride toxicology and epidemiology documents frequent unspecific chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and intestinal

Fluoride-Induced Damage to Gastric Mucosa in Human Clinical Trials
When fluoride has been used (at doses of 18-34 mg/day) as an experimental treatment for osteoporosis, gastric pain is one of the two main side effects consistently encountered. To better understand how fluoride causes this effect, researchers have sought to determine how fluoride affects the tissue that lines the gastrointestinal tract. In a

Fluoride-Induced Gastric Symptoms in Human Clinical Trials
In studies where fluoride has been used (at doses of 18-34 mg/day) as an experimental drug for the treatment of osteoporosis, gastrointestinal disturbances are one of the two main side effects consistently encountered. The following are some of the accounts from the published literature: "The use of fluoride in the prophylaxis or

Gastrointestinal Problems Among Individuals with Skeletal Fluorosis
Humans suffering from skeletal fluorosis are known to suffer from an increased occurrence of gastrointestinal disorders. When fluoride intake is reduced, these gastrointestinal problems are among the first symptoms to disappear. The following are some of the studies that have examined this issue: "It is clear from the observations presented in this article

Side Effects from Fluoride Gels: Gastric Distress
Gastric distress -- including nausea, pain, and vomiting -- is one the most common side effects from professional application of "fluoride gels" at the dentist. Patients receiving fluoride gels can swallow more than 20 mg of fluoride from a single treatment -- doses that far exceed the doses that can

Fluoride & Gastrointestinal System: The Importance of Fluoride Concentration in Stomach
The following is an excerpt from the National Research Council's (2006) review of fluoride toxicity: "It is important to realize that GI effects depend more on the net concentration of the aqueous solution of fluoride in the stomach than on the total fluoride dose in the fluid or solid ingested. The
