Abstract

Objective: Explore the active mechanisms of growth inhibitors (somatostatin, SS) participating in learning and memory obstacles from brick tea fluoride and aluminum poisoning of rats. Method: Based on the tea-drinking habits of herders, a rat chronic brick tea fluoride and aluminum poisoning animal model was established, and randomly divided into control groups and model groups. After the model was established for one year, an eight-arm maze test was performed to observe the differences in the spatial learning and memory capabilities of the two rat groups, and immunochemistry was used to test the changes in the rat hippocampus growth inhibitor expression one year after the model was established.  Results: Compared with the control group, there was a significant difference (P<0.01) in the rat eight-arm maze learning and memory capabilities one year after the model was established, and the rat hippocampus SS expression fell (P<0.01) one year after the model was established. Conclusion: Brick tea fluoride and aluminum poisoning of rats obstructs learning and memory and brain tissue SS expression decreases.

    Objective: To observe the influence of coal burning fluorosis on learning and memory ability in rats and reveal its possible mechanisms. Methods: Healthy 48 SD rats were divided into control, low-fluoride and high-fluoride group. All rats in fluoride exposed groups were fed with the eom polluted by drying processes with

  • SIRT1-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis supports therapeutic effects of resveratrol against neurodevelopment damage by fluoride.

    Rationale: Potential adverse effects of fluoride on neurodevelopment has been extensively explored and mitochondria have been recognized as critical targets. Mitochondrial biogenesis serves a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and salubrious properties of resveratrol (RSV) has been well-defined. However, the molecular mechanisms governing mitochondrial biogenesis in developmental fluoride neurotoxicity

  • Decreased learning ability and low hippocampus glutamate in offspring rats exposed to fluoride and lead.

    Fluoride (F) and lead (Pb) are two common environmental pollutants which are linked to the lowered intelligence, especially for children. Glutamate, a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, plays an important role in the process of learning and memory. However, the impact of F and Pb alone or

    Highlights Memory function was reduced in the fluoride-exposed mice. Gut microbiota structure in fluoride-exposed mice was significantly altered. Lactobacillus was the mainly targeting bacteria in fluoride-treated mice. Inoculation with Lactobacillus johnsonii reconstructed gut microbiota in fluoride-exposed mice. Inoculation with Lactobacillus johnsonii rescued memory dysfunction in fluoride-expose mice. Fluoride which is

    Fluoride and lead are two common pollutants in the environment. Previous investigations have found that high fluoride exposure can increase the lead burden. In this experiment, in order to study on the molecular mechanisms of central neural system injury induced by the above two elements, differently expressed protein spots in

  • Fluoride's Direct Effects on Brain: Animal Studies

    The possibility that fluoride ingestion may impair intelligence and other indices of neurological function is supported by a vast body of animal research, including over 40 studies that have investigated fluoride's effects on brain quality in animals. As discussed by the National Research Council, the studies have consistently demonstrated that fluoride, at widely varying concentrations, is toxic to the brain.

    An association between elevated fluoride exposure and reduced intelligence has now been observed in 65 IQ studies. Although a link between fluoride and intelligence might initially seem surprising or random, it is actually consistent with a large body of animal research. This animal research includes the following 45 studies (out
