Abstract
The present research report has looked into the correlation between male infertility and the fluoride level in water, the occurrence of dental and skeletal fluorosis, [the volume and quality of] semen and the amount of fluoride contained therein. Results have shown that fluoride might be a leading cause of male infertility in regions with endemic fluorosis.

Reproductive toxic effects of ingestion of sodium fluoride in female rats
The objective of this study was to investigate the toxic effects of different concentrations of sodium fluoride (200, 400 and 600 ppm NaF), administered in drinking water for 30 days, on the reproductive system of adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats in the two higher-dosed groups showed clinical signs of

Perinatal exposure to sodium fluoride with emphasis on territorial aggression, sexual behaviour and fertility in male rats.
Territorial aggression, sexual behaviour and fertility parameters were evaluated at adulthood of male rats previously exposed to different concentrations of sodium fluoride (Na-F) at their gestation, lactation and postweaning period till maturation. Sixty weanling male Wistar rats were received Na-F via their dams from second trimester of their pregnancy onward

Testing the potential of sodium fluoride to affect spermatogenesis in the rat
The potential of sodium fluoride (NaF) to affect spermatogenesis and endocrine function was assessed in P and F1 generation male rats. Male and female experimental rats received sodium fluoride in their drinking water at one of four concentrations (25, 100, 175, 250 ppm). P generation male and female rats were

Effects of sodium fluoride on reproductive function in female rats
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on female reproductive function and examine the morphology of the ovaries and uteri of rats exposed to NaF. Eighty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided randomly into four groups of 20: one control group and three

The effect of the fluoride ion on reproductive parameters and an estimate of the safe daily dose of fluoride to prevent female infertility and miscarriage, and foetal neurotoxicity.
A paper in the current issue by Yousefi et al. examined data on the prevalence of fertility, infertility, and abortion (miscarriage), in the health records of 3,392 women, aged 10–49 yr, living in two regions of Poldasht county, Iran, with low and high drinking water fluoride ion (F) levels (means
