ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of drinking water with high fluoride level on liver functions.
Method: This is a descriptive comparative cross-sectional study conducted at Sammu rind village where the drinking water has increase fluoride content. The comparative area was Gadap town where the drinking water has normal fluoride level. Sampling was done randomly and sample size was calculated by WHO calculator and f
Fluoride is a toxic anion that stimulates oxygen consumption [64] and increases superoxide production in resting polymorphonuclear leukocytes [65]. Intracellular calcium ions are required for superoxide production by neutrophils during phagocytosis [66]. The effect of fluoride on superoxide production in neutrophils is reversible, causing superoxide production in the presence of fluoride, decreasing superoxide production when fluoride is removed, and restoring superoxide production when fluoride
Abstract
Excessive ingestion of fluorides might adversely affect the health of humans. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the concentrations of infusible fluoride in five different types of tea and herbal products; additionally, the probabilistic health risks associated with the ingestion of fluoride in drinking tea and herbal products were estimated. The highest and lowest concentrations of infusible fluoride were detected in black and white tea, respectively. On average, the highe
