Abstract

The experiment has shown the staging of the development of immune response to the chronic fluoride intoxication. Diagnostic criteria of the initial compensation stage are: leukocytosis against the background of reduced number of lymphocytes and increased one of monocytes; high levels of ceruloplasmin in blood plasma, a progressive increase in TNFalpha and cytokine IL-10. At the decompensation stage there are: leukocytosis with increased number of neutrophils; low levels of ceruloplasmin and the cytokines IL-1beta, IL-4 and the high level of TNFalpha, IL-6, IL-10. At the stage of exhaustion there are: leukopenia against the background of lymphocytosis, a high level of Hp, the low values of the level of IgM, IgG.

  • Arsenic and fluoride induce apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells

    Excessive amount of inorganic arsenic (iAs) and fluoride (F) coexist in drinking water in many regions, which is associated with high risk of vascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well studied. The present study was to evaluate the effects of iAs and F individual or combined exposure on endothelial activation

  • Fluoride tooth paste: a cause of perioral dermatitis

    Since its description in 1957 by Frumess and Lewis as a “light-sensitive seborrheid,” perioral dermatitis (PD) has continued to be a perplexing entity. (1) Many causes have been postulated, including sunlight sensitivity, birth control pills, emotional stress, fluorinated steroid creams, Candida albicans, and rosacea. We have gathered clinical and historical data implicating

  • Exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis by sodium fluoride treatment of osteoporosis

    Recent studies have suggested that sodium fluoride therapy may be an effective treatment for vertebral osteoporosis. Unfortunately, the high frequency of side effects may limit the use of this treatment modality. This report documents the repeated exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis on three occasions after the initiation of sodium fluoride therapy. This apparent complication of

  • Exposure to sodium fluoride produces signs of apoptosis in rat leukocytes

    Fluoride is naturally present in the earth's crust and can be found in rocks, coal, and clay; thus, it can be found in small quantities in water, air, plants, and animals. Therefore, humans are exposed to fluoride through food, drinking water, and in the air they breathe. Flouride is essential

  • Increased plasma neopterin and hs-CRP levels in patients with endemic fluorosis

    Although fluoride induced inflammatory reactions have been shown in animals and in vitro humans, there are few studies about fluoride induced inflammatory reactions in human beings at clinical setting. We aimed to measure the plasma neopterin, a marker of activation of the monocyte/macrophage system, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)

    Considerations, supported by some published experimental evidence, suggest that fluoride released during the resorption of high-fluoride bone may produce detrimental effects not only on bone cells but on developing cells of the immune system.

  • Fluoride & the Immune System - Summation from the US National Research Council (2006)

    “There is no question that fluoride can affect the cells involved in providing immune responses. The question is what proportion, if any, of the population consuming drinking water containing fluoride at 4.0 mg/L on a regular basis will have their immune systems compromised? Not a single epidemiologic study has investigated whether fluoride in the drinking water at 4 mg/L is associated with changes in immune function. Nor has any study examined whether a person with an immunodeficiency disease can tolerate fluoride ingestion from drinking water.”

  • Is the Ingestion of Fluoride an Immunosuppressive Practice?

    This paper records several observations which suggest that habitual ingestion of small doses of fluoride, even as small as the 1 mg/L contained in fluoridated water, may decrease the function of the immune system.
