Abstract

On the basis of routine EEG, this article used mapping technologies to conduct research on the brain electrical activities of mentally retarded children in high-fluoride regions. Results showed that the O energy percentages in the central, parietal, occipital, and left temporal areas of the mentally retarded group were significantly higher than those of the normal control group. The a energy percentages in the central and occipital areas were significantly lower than those of the control group. These abnormal changes in brain electrical activities were closely related to the high-fluoride environment. The degree of damage of fluoride to brain functions can be intuitively and visually understood via brain mapping

  • Fisetin prevents fluoride- and dexamethasone-induced oxidative damage in osteoblast and hippocampal cells

    Fluoride intoxication and dexamethasone treatment produce deleterious effects in bone and brain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluoride (F) and dexamethasone (Dex) co-exposure on oxidative stress and apoptosis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 and hippocampal HT22 cell lines. Co-exposure to F and Dex resulted in a

  • Alterations in the memory of rat offspring exposed to low levels of fluoride during gestation and lactation: Involvement of the a7 nicotinic receptor and oxidative stress.

    Daily exposure to fluoride (F) depends mainly on the intake of this element with drinking water. When administered during gestation and lactation, F has been associated with cognitive deficits in the offspring. However, the mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity of F remain obscure. In the current study, we investigated the effects

  • Changed expressions of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the brains of rats and primary neurons exposed to high level of fluoride

    Expressions of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs) in the brains of rats and primary neurons exposed to high fluoride were investigated. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into a fluorosis group (50 ppm fluoride in the drinking water for 6 months) and controls (<0.5ppm fluoride) and the offspring from these rats sacrificed

The results showed that

  • Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis indicated that neurotoxicity of rats with chronic fluorosis may be in mechanism involved in the changed cholinergic pathway and oxidative stress.

    Highlights Chronic fluorosis decreased learning and memory of rats and induced neurotoxicity. Thirteen corresponding DEGs and DAPs (cor-DEGs-DAPs) were identified. Most of cor-DEGs-DAPs were related to neurodegenerative changes and oxidative stress response The neurotoxicity by high fluoride involved in the changes in cholinergic pathway and oxidative stress. Background To reveal the

  • Fluoride's Direct Effects on Brain: Animal Studies

    The possibility that fluoride ingestion may impair intelligence and other indices of neurological function is supported by a vast body of animal research, including over 40 studies that have investigated fluoride's effects on brain quality in animals. As discussed by the National Research Council, the studies have consistently demonstrated that fluoride, at widely varying concentrations, is toxic to the brain.

    The human placenta does not prevent the passage of fluoride from a pregnant mother's bloodstream to the fetus. As a result, a fetus can be harmed by fluoride ingested pregnancy. Based on research from China, the fetal brain is one of the organs susceptible to fluoride poisoning. As highlighted by the excerpts
