Abstract
Decreasing of the insulin concentration and increasing of the C-peptide level in blood serum of 72 workers of cryolytes industries detected by radioimmunilogical method. These changes were caused by the fluorine intoxication of workers.

Slightly Elevated Serum Ionic Fluoride Levels Inhibit Insulin Secretion and Increase Glucose Levels in a General Japanese Population: a Cross-sectional Study.
A cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the relationships between serum fluoride levels, glucose levels, and insulin secretion in a general population. A total of 330 healthy subjects (167 men; 163 women) aged between 40 and 69 years were examined. Lifestyle information was obtained using questionnaires. Blood samples were collected

Fluoride exposure impairs glucose tolerance via decreased insulin expression and oxidative stress.
Chronic exposure to high fluoride (F(-)) may lead to local tissue disturbances, known as fluorosis. F(-) is an oxidising agent and a well-known reversible enzymatic inhibitor that interferes with the enzyme activity of at least 80 proteins. The goals of the current study were to evaluate whether F(-) exposure affected

Insulin signal decrease in muscle but not in the liver of castrated male rats from chronic exposure to fluoride
With half the animals as controls without fluoride (F) in their drinking water, 16 of 32 seven-week-old castrated male Wistar rats were administered NaF in their drinking water and F contained in food pellets (estimated total F intake: 4.0 mg F/kg bw/day). After 42 days, determinations were made of the

[Changes in bone mass and in glucose homeostasis in subjects with high spontaneous fluoride intake]
This paper reports metabolic data of 24 women and two men, 44-66 years old, ex-residents in an area of endemic fluorosis close to Bahía Blanca city. Fasting fluoremias of these subjects (0.5 to 9.2 microM) and daily urinary fluoride excretion (> 60 mumoles/day) are characteristics of zones with endemic fluorosis.

Effects of fluoride on metabolism and mechanical properties of rat bone
Young rats were maintained, over a 2-week period, on laboratory chow and distilled water or water supplemented with 200 ppm fluoride. Metaphyseal and diaphyseal bone of the femurs and tibias of control and treated rats were analyzed. After fluoride treatment there was a decrease of lipid and citrate content and

Fluoride & Insulin
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is responsible for maintaining appropriate levels of glucose in the blood. Insulin allows the body’s cells to take up glucose from the blood, and either use it as an energy source or store it as glycogen. Blood glucose levels in diabetics

Fluoride & Impaired Glucose Tolerance
The proper regulation of blood glucose levels is essential to good health. When the body's ability to regulate blood glucose levels falters, as occurs in diabetes mellitus, chronic elevated glucose levels (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious complications. These consequences include damage to the kidneys, nervous system, cardiovascular system, retina, legs
