Abstract

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 samples of 104 male and female of various age groups 20 – 70 yrs. The patients had attended OPD of Kamineni Institute of medical sciences hospital and advised for RBS. Blood glucose was estimated by hexokinase method using Dade Behring Dimension AR. Serum fluoride was estimated using ion selective electrode ECOSAN statistical analysis was done by using SPSS software.

Based on our findings, we made 3 different groups .Group-I comprised of both having increased RBS and fluoride levels(Males 4%, Females 5%) Group II comprised of patients having increased serum fluoride levels with normo glycemia (Males 44% Females 44%) and Group III consisted of patients having hyper glycemia and normal fluoride ( Males 8% Females 1%).Results obtained were compared between groups I,II,III.

There was no significant correlation between serum fluoride and hyper glycemia in endemic fluorosis area. This could be due to less sample number. None the less we are still continuing with the study.

    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 authors' research focuses on polyuria, natriuresis, glucosuria, glycemia, and renal calcification in occupational lead poisoning and endemic fluorosis. Changes in electrolyte mobilization and in glucose metabolism and transport following the administration of lead compounds or fluoride were examined to elucidate these mechanisms. The results suggest fundamental approaches to the

  • Fluoride-induced resistance to insulin in the rat.

    The insulinic response of rats challenged with glucose at different times after an oral dose of 40 µmol NaF/100 g bw revealed the concentration of the molecular species reacting with anti-insulin antibody was significantly lower after 3 hr, and the glucose levels were somewhat higher than in controls. At the

  • Comparative study of the effect of sodium fluoride and sodium monofluorophosphate on glucose homeostasis in the rat.

    The effect of acute and chronic administration of sodium fluoride (NaF) or sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP) on the glucose homeostasis of the rat are compared. The oral administration of a single dose of 40 mumol/100 g b.w. of either compound produced similar increases in plasma glucose (up to 1.8 g/l) and

  • Physical exercise ameliorates the toxic effect of fluoride on the insulin-glucose system.

    Daily intake of water with fluoride concentrations >1.5 mg/l produces insulin resistance (IR). On the other hand, physical activity increases insulin sensitivity in the muscle. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of physical activity on IR in rats treated with sodium fluoride (NaF) in drinking

  • 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
