Abstract
In experiments with 76 rats it was demonstrated that withdrawal of fluoride from fluoride-intoxicated rats caused an improvement in the interstitial inflammation and a marked reduction of the dilated convoluted tubules and Henle loops of the kidney.

Kidney function and structure in chronic fluorosis
An investigation has been carried out on the effects of the intake of small amounts of sodium fluoride on kidney structure and function in rats, with a view to the possibility of establishing some means of testing for the toxic effects of fluorine in human beings, and of demonstrating the

Cytochemical response of kidney, liver and nervous system of fluoride ions in drinking water
Morphological and cytochemical studies on the squirrel monkey have been made after maintaining the sujects on pure distilled water and fluoridated distilled water for 18 months with the objective of determining the effect of fluoride on the activity of some hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes in the kidney, liver and nervous

[An investigation on the effect of Rosa roxburghii tratt juice on chronic fluorosis and its mechanism].
Improved the general condition of chronic fluorosis but had no effect on dental fluorosis enhanced the excretion of fluorine and lowered the fluorine content of serum and bone which has been raised during fluorine intoxication; increased serum vitamin C and protected collagen as manifested by declin[e] of urinary hydroxyproline; inhibited

Role of Some Natural Antioxidants in the Modulation of Some Proteins Expressions against Sodium Fluoride-Induced Renal Injury.
Background: The aim of the present work is to find the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and/or thymoquinone (THQ) in the protection against acute renal injury induced by sodium fluoride (NaF). Method: Rats were distributed into five groups: G1 was normal (control), G2 was intoxicated with 10mg/kg NaF i.p., G3 was treated

Fluoride-induced histopathology and synthesis of stress protein in liver and kidney of mice
Selective low (15 mg sodium fluoride (NaF)/L) and relatively high (150 mg NaF/L) doses of in vivo fluoride (F) treatment to Swiss albino mice through drinking water elicited organ-specific toxicological response. All the F-exposed groups showed severe alterations in both liver and kidney architectures, but there was no significant change

Fluoride Gels & Kidney Function
Scientists have found that the application of "Fluoride Gels" at the dental office causes very high spikes in the blood fluoride level. The high spikes in blood fluoride levels are a result of three factors: the high concentration of fluoride in the gel (= 12.3 mg of fluoride in each

Fluoride as a Cause of Kidney Disease in Animals
Because the kidney is exposed to higher concentrations of fluoride than all other soft tissues (with the exception of the pineal gland), there is concern that excess fluoride exposure may contribute to kidney disease - thus initiating a "vicious cycle" where the damaged kidneys increase the accumulation of fluoride, causing in

Fluoridation of drinking water and chronic kidney disease: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
A fairly substantial body of research indicates that patients with chronic renal insufficiency are at an increased risk of chronic fluoride toxicity. Patients with reduced glomerular filtration rates have a decreased ability to excrete fluoride in the urine. These patients may develop skeletal fluorosis even at 1 ppm fluoride in the drinking water.

Kidney: A potential target for fluoride toxicity
The kidneys are the organ responsible for clearing fluoride from the body. In the process of doing so, the kidneys are exposed to concentrations of fluoride that exceed, by a factor of 50, the concentration of fluoride in human blood. As such, the kidney have long been considered a potential
