Abstract

Intravenous infusion of 6 mg of fluoride/kg/hr for 3 hr caused a sharp decrease in formation of respiratory ¹⁴CO₂ from [¹⁴C]glucose, regardless of position of the label. Oxidation of [1-¹⁴C]fructose was not impaired, indicating that triose metabolism was not hindered; this information, along with the similarity in depression of metabolism of all labels indicated that glycolysis was not impaired. Glycogen deposition was decreased. The data suggest that the interference caused by fluoride at the observed concentrations is located at or prior to phosphorylation of glucose.

  • [Activities of some enzymes and concentration of ammonia in serum of rats with fluoride hyperglycemia]

    The study was done in 30 one-month-old Wistar FL rats divided into one control and two study groups of ten animals each. Hyperglycemia was induced with sodium fluoride in water at a concentration of 50 or 100 mg/L during four months. Control animals received distilled water. We observed significantly (p

  • Absence of detrimental effects of fluoride exposure in diabetic rats.

    This study is part of a comprehensive programme to investigate fluoride toxicity and the hypothesis that fluoride ingested by "medically compromised' animals will result in altered physiological function. Its objectives were to monitor fluoride retention, tissue fluoride concentrations and genetic variables in diabetic and control rats chronically exposed to fluoride,

  • Changes in the concentration of fluoride in the serum and bones of female rats with streptozotocin induced diabetes.

    The aim of this study was to determine if streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats as a model for Type-1 human diabetes causes changes in the levels of fluoride (F) and biogenic elements in the bones and serum in the initial stage of the disease. Twenty-two female Wistar rats were given streptozotocin

  • Correlation between serum fluoride and hyperglycemia in endemic fluorosis area

    As fluoride inhibits Glycolysis we conducted a preliminary study to analyse the effect of fluoride on blood glucose in the individuals of endemic fluorosis area . The study was conducted to correlate the serum fluoride with blood glucose levels in a population living in endemic fluorosis area The present study included serum

  • 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

  • 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
