[T]he analysis of the results obtained and secondary data allow us to conclude that the pancreas is not unaffected during CFI. For the first time we have provided a complex characteristic of insulin, G and C-peptide contents in the blood serum of people during CFI [chronic fluoride intoxication], which evidenced moderate hypoinsulinemia accompanied by normal or slightly elevated G and glucose levels. Hormonal status changes reflect the complex mechanism of direct or indirect fluoride impact on t
