Abstract

[Objective] To investigate the effect of iodine and selenium on learning memory behavior impairment induced by fluorosis and blood biochemical criterion change of rats. To study the antagonism of iodine and selenium on fluorosis. [Methods] After the rats with fluorosis drinking water with different concentrations of iodine ( I) and selenium ( Se) for a long time, their learning memory abilities were measured by way of Y- maze, and the blood biochemical criterions were determined at the same time. [Results] The learning memory abilities of rats in high F group, high I/high F group, and low I/high F group were significantly lower than control group, while the learning memory abilities of rats given proper concentration I and Se increased significantly. The blood biochemical criterions of high F group, high I/high F group, and low I/high F group presented marked differences from that of groups given proper concentration I and Se. [Conclusion] Proper concentration I and Se have obvious antagonism against rat fluorosis. The antagonism may be related with the changes of blood biochemical criterion.

  • Fluoride & Oxidative Stress

    A vast body of research demonstrates that fluoride exposure increases oxidative stress. Based on this research, it is believed that fluoride-induced oxidative stress is a key mechanism underlying the various toxic effects associated with fluoride exposure. It is also well established that fluoride's toxic effects can be ameliorated by exposure

  • Fluoride Exposure Increases Metabolic Requirement for Magnesium

    Fluoride's toxicity is significantly enhanced in the presence of nutritional deficiencies. Similarly, fluoride exposure increases the body's requirement for certain nutrients. An individual with a high intake of fluoride, for example, will need a proportional increase in calcium to avoid the mineralization defects (e.g., osteomalacia) that fluoride causes to bone

  • Fluoride Exposure Increases Metabolic Requirement for Calcium & Vitamin D

    It is well known that individuals with nutrient deficiencies are more susceptible to fluoride toxicity, including fluoride's bone effects. As discussed in the following studies, fluoride increases the skeleton's need for calcium (and vitamin D) by increasing the amount of unmineralized tissue (osteoid) in the bone. When insufficient calcium and
