Abstract

Objective  To investigate the mechanism of chronic fluorine poisoning on hippocampus of rats.

Methods  The changes of positive nNOS expression in control group given drinking tap water,100 mg/L(low fluorine group),200 mg/L(high fluorine group),were observed by ABC immunohistochemisty.

Results  The expression of nNOS in the region of CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus (DG) in hippocampus of low fluorine group and high fluorine group was significantly reduced, with the increase of fluorine, the expression of nNOS in the region of CA1 was reduced significantly, region CA3 and DG also reduced.

Conclusion  Chronic fluorine poisoning can restrain the expression of nNOS in Hippocampus of rats.

  • ERK1/2-mediated disruption of BDNF–TrkB signaling causes synaptic impairment contributing to fluoride–induced developmental neurotoxicity

    Highlights Rats were long–term chronic exposed to environmentally relevant doses of fluoride. Fluoride exposure results in synaptic alterations both in vivo and in vitro. Fluoride–induced cognitive failures correlates with synaptic deficits. BDNF–TrkB axis disruption contributes to fluoride–elicited impaired synaptogenesis. ERK1/2 plays a vital role in fluoride–induced BDNF–TrkB signaling disruption. Excessive

  • 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

  • Chronic fluoride exposure induces neuronal apoptosis and impairs neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity: role of GSK-3ß/ß-catenin pathway.

    Highlights Fluoride dose-dependently impaired neurogenesis and synaptic function. Fluoride exposure induced hippocampal neuronal loss and apoptosis. Fluoride exposure compromised GSK-3ß/ß catenin signaling. Fluoride decreased ß-catenin downstream target genes, cyclin D1 and c-myc. Fluoride is becoming an ineluctable environmental pollutant and its longterm exposure would cause fluorosis and irreversible brain damage,

  • GSTO1 acts as a mediator in sodium fluoride-induced alterations of learning and memory related factors expressions in the hippocampus cell line.

    The mechanism of GSTO1, as a high-risk factor for neurological damage, in sodium fluoride (NaF)-induced learning and memory impairment remained still unclear. Hence, in this study, we used the siRNA-GSTO1 HT22 model to explore the effect of NaF and siRNA-GSTO1 on the viability, and proliferation rate of HT22cells, as well

  • Effects of fluoride on microtubule ultrastructure and expression of TubB1a and TubB2a in mouse hippocampus

    Axonal and dendrictic degenerations were observed in non-skeleton fluorosis as the neurological manifestations. Microtubules, composed of the assembled tubulin dimers, are the essential cytoskeleton of axon and dendron. However, the effect of fluoride (F) on microtubules status and tubulin dimer expression in central nerves system remains largely unknown. In this

    Developmental Neurotoxicity There has been a tremendous amount of research done on the association of exposure to fluoride with developmental neurotoxicity. There are over 60 studies reporting reduced IQ in children and several on the impaired learning/memory in animals. And there are studies which link fluoride to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Teaching

    As of May 2020, a total of 75 studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence. Of these investigations, 67 studies have found that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ in humans, while over 60 animal studies have found that fluoride exposure impairs the learning and/or

    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

    The human placenta does not prevent the passage of fluoride from a pregnant mother's bloodstream to the fetus. As a result, a fetus can be harmed by fluoride ingested pregnancy. Based on research from China, the fetal brain is one of the organs susceptible to fluoride poisoning. As highlighted by the excerpts
