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.

  • Fluoride toxicity and new-onset diabetes in Finland: a hypothesis

    The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has increased substantially in Finland, but the exact trigger for the onset of T1D is still unknown. We know that use of amoxicillin and anti-cariogenic fluoride tablets is a common practice for children in Finland. It seems that beta-cell destruction is initiated by

  • [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.

  • A multigrain protein enriched diet mitigates fluoride toxicity.

    Fluorosis is a major health problem in many parts of the world. The present work focuses on investigating the utility of nutrient and antioxidant rich grains- ragi, jowar, bajra, maize in formulation of basal, high carbohydrate low protein and low carbohydrate high protein diets in mitigating fluoride toxicity. Exposure to

  • 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

  • Effect of F on rat serum insulin levels in vivo

    Several investigators have shown an acute administration of NaF in rats can induce a hyperglycemia. The current study was undertaken to determine if acute injections of NaF would alter the serum insulin levels since LIN et al., Horm. Metab. Res 8, 353-358, 1976 had shown that NaF could inhibit the

  • 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

  • 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
