Abstract
The oestrone loading test was carried out on fifteen patients suffering from fluorine liver damage. Three pattern curves of the oestrogen fraction (oestrone, 17?-oestradiol and oestriol) excretion in the urine were established. Our data show that there were disturbances in oestrogen metabolism in patients with fluorine liver damage.

Fluoride induces apoptosis and autophagy through the IL-17 signaling pathway in mice hepatocytes.
Previous studies have reported that excessive fluoride exposure induced liver damage. However, the underlying mechanism of fluoride-induced hepatic toxicity is still unclear. Hence, this study was aimed to evaluate the fluoride-induced apoptosis, autophagy, and IL-17 signaling pathway-related genes to explore the possible mechanisms of NaF-induced liver injury in mice. For

Clinical features of early stages of occupational fluorosis under the combined and joint effect of production factors
Over 1000 workers of hydrofluoric and cryolite enterprises and electrolysis shops of aluminium enterprises were examined. Subjects exposed to soluble hydrofluorides presented in the early stage of chronic intoxication with a variety of syndromes, that was characteristic of intoxication with poisons of general toxic action with involvement of hepatobiliary, digestive,

Pathohistological and biochemical investigation of acute hepatotoxicity after intravenous administration of cadmium nitrate and cadmium fluoride in rats.
Cadmium nitrate (CdN) and cadmium fluoride (CdF) have been recently used for battery and electronics device in industrial fields. In previous study, we investigated the dose-effect relationships of acute toxicities of these substances from the standpoint of occupational health. From these results, it was strongly suggested that CdF have more

Effects of melatonin and epiphyseal proteins on fluoride-induced adverse changes in antioxidant status of heart, liver, and kidney of rats
Several experimental and clinical reports indicated the oxidative stress-mediated adverse changes in vital organs of human and animal in fluoride (F) toxicity. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effect of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) epiphyseal (pineal) proteins (BEP) and melatonin (MEL) against F-induced oxidative stress in heart,

Effects of sodium fluoride on locomotor behavior and a few biochemical parameters in rats
Spontaneous motor activity and motor coordination were tested in adult female rats after treating with sodium fluoride at 20 or 40 mg/kg dose level daily for 60 days, using an activity chamber and a rota-rod apparatus, respectively. Total protein concentrations were determined in skeletal muscle, liver and serum of similarly
