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 intake, distribution, and bone content in diabetic rats consuming fluoridated drinking water

    SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to determine how metabolic and functional changes in diabetes affect the fluoride intake, distribution, and concentration in bone tissue; and whether alterations in fluoride metabolism in diabetes may influence the severity of the disorder. Two groups of rats received 0 (C) or 10

  • NaF treatment increases TNF-a and resistin concentrations and reduces insulin signal in rats

    The use of fluoridated products has significantly contributed to the reduction in rates of dental caries. However, excessive sodium fluoride (NaF) intake promotes inhibition of glycolysis, decrease in insulin secretion, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance. Seven-week-old castrated male Wistar rats were used to evaluate the chronic effect of NaF on insulin

  • Mathematical model of glucose-insulin homeostasis in healthy rats.

    According to the World Health Organization there are over 220 million people in the world with diabetes and 3.4 million people died in 2004 as a consequence of this pathology. Development of an artificial pancreas would allow to restore control of blood glucose by coupling an infusion pump to a

    Composite examinations of 116 persons, employees of Phosphate Fertilizers Plant in Gdansk, with an average length of service ca. 15 years, were carried out. It was found that the frequency of occurrence of the chronic non-specific diseases of the lungs was not higher than in other works where dust and

  • Activity of pancreatic antioxidative enzymes and malondialdehyde concentrations in rats with hyperglycemia caused by fluoride intoxication.

    The aim of this work was to examine the effect of fluoride ions on antioxidative enzyme activity in the pancreas of rats exposed during 4 months to NaF in drinking water. The study was carried out in 30 four-week-old male Wistar FL rats, that were randomly assigned to three equal

  • 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
