Abstract
Reduction of ingested fluoride in a skulk of silver foxes resulted in the reduction of fluoride burden, decreased neonatal mortality and increased kit production during a two breeding and whelping season period.

Fluoride reduced CRISP 2 expression in testis and epididymal sperm of rats.
Fluorine, an active element which is widely distributed in the environment, has been demonstrated to have adverse effects on male reproductive systems at a high dose. The objective of the present study was to explore the key role of cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP)2 in fluoride-induced male reproductive toxicity by investigating,

Natrium fluoride influences methylation modifications and induces apoptosis in mouse early embryos
Fluoride is considered a major pollutant of ground water and can cause cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. This study epigenetically examined the effect of fluoride on early embryos of Kunming mice administered with 0, 20, 60, and 120 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF) for 30 days. The results showed that NaF

Effect of fluoride intake on repduction in mice
Female mice were fed a low fluoride diet (0.1 to 0.3 ppm fluoride) plus drinking water containing 0, 50, 100 or 200 ppm fluoride as sodium fluoride. Toxic effects of fluoride were evidenced by retarded growth and impaired reproduction in mice with intakes of 100 and 200 ppm fluoride, and

Fluoride exposure changed the structure and the function of sperm in the testis and epididymis of male rats.
This study systematically investigated the effects of fluoride ion (F)exposure on the male reproductive organ and on spermatogenesis. Twenty male rats were divided into two groups of 10 and treated with 0 or 150 mg F/L in drinking water. After 70 days, the body weight, organ coefficients of the testis

Effects of fluoride and aluminum on expressions of StAR and P450scc of related steroidogenesis in guinea pigs' testis
Highlights F and Al changed histological structure of testes, reduced sperm quality. F and Al reduced StAR and P450scc expressions and level of serum testosterone. F toxicity is stronger than Al and Al weakened the toxicity of F. Al had antagonism effects on F. A lot of studies have shown

Fluoride's Effect on Male Reproductive System -- The "Sprando/Collins" Anomaly
In contrast to the findings of over 60 animal studies from other research teams, a series of studies by FDA researchers Sprando & Collins reported virtually no evidence of reproductive toxicity among animals treated with very high levels of fluoride exposure. The reasons for this discrepancy remains unclear. Excerpts from Sprando/Collins' Studies: "This study

Fluoride's Effect on Male Reproductive System: Animal Studies
Over 60 studies on animals (including rats, mice, roosters, and rabbits) have found that fluoride adversely impacts the male reproductive system. These studies have repeatedly found the following effects: (1) decreases in testosterone levels; (2) reduced sperm motility; (3) altered sperm morphology; (4) reduced sperm quantity; (5) increased oxidative stress; (6) and reduced capacity to breed.

Fluoride's Effect on Male Reproductive System - Human Studies
Consistent with in vitro and animal research, studies of human populations have reported associations between fluoride exposure and damage to the male reproductive system. Most notably, a scientist at the Food & Drug Administration reported in 1994 that populations in the United States with more than 3 ppm fluoride in their water had lower "total fertility rates" than populations with lower fluoride levels.

Fluoride's Effect on the Male Reproductive System -- In Vitro Studies
Carefully controlled in vitro studies have found that direct exposure of fluoride to the testes or semen inhibits testosterone production and damages sperm. While researchers have known since the 1930s that mega concentrations of fluoride can completely (but reversibly) immobilize sperm, it was not until the 1970s and 1980s that researchers found that relatively modest concentrations of fluoride could cause damage prior to complete immobilization.
