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.

  • Central nervous system mediation of fluoride hyperglycemia in the rat.

    The hyperglycemia which accompanies acute fluoride toxicity in the rat is mediated by epinephrine released from the adrenal medulla. Bilateral splanchnicotomy prevented this response to fluoride. Ganglionic blockade diminished the hyperglycemic response in unanesthetized animals but not in pentobarbital-anesthetized animals. Microinjections of fluoride into the lateral ventricle elicited a rapid

  • Association of type 1 diabetes and concentrations of drinking water components in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

    Objective To determine the association between drinking water quality and rates of type 1 diabetes in the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) population, which has one of the highest incidences of type 1 diabetes reported globally. Research design and methods The study used a community-based, case-control design. We first calculated incidence rates

  • Effect of fluoride intake on carbohydrate metabolism, glucose tolerance, and insulin signaling.

    Fluoride is known to cause both local and systemic alterations in animals and humans, such as dental fluorosis and disturbances in glucose homeostasis. The effects of fluoride are dose dependent and can produce decreased insulin secretion, inhibition of glycolysis, glycogen depletion, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance. Because excessive ingestion of fluoride

  • Fluorosis--a rare complication of diabetes insipidus.

    The familial pituitary or central diabetes insipidus (DI) is a relatively rare condition with variable onset, from birth to several years of age and variable severity within a family and in individuals over time(l). Severe dehydration and growth retardation, though rare are known compilations of DI. However, dental fluorosis as

  • Antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipemic effects of Mangifera Indica L. in fluoride induced toxicity.

    A chronic intake of fluoride through food and drinking water is also known to cause hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia besides fluorosis. The present study deals with the effects of fluoride (100 ppm) induced hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia and the alleviatory potential of Mangifera indica L. on the carbohydrate and lipid profiles in

    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
