Abstract

The effect of prolonged administration of NaF on the metabolism of (guinea pig) Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex was studied by histochemical methods. Experimentation showed an intensification of the metabolic activity of the mitochondria and probably of the membrane system of the endoplasmic reticulum, activation of the complex of enzymes connected with active transport through membrane structures of cells and the absence of perceptible changes in the process of protein synthesis in experimental animals as compared with controls. The intensified activity of the enymatic complexes is probably connected with the excitation of the neurons provoked by the introduction of a toxic substance.

  • Effect of maternal exposure of fluoride on biometals and oxidative stress parameters in developing CNS of rat.

    Excessive intake of essential elements agitates elemental homeostasis resulting in their heterogeneous distribution. Distraction of these elements in central nervous system (CNS) have been demonstrated in many neurological disorders, which are vital in generating free radicals, causing oxidative stress, and contributing to neuronal maladies. The developing CNS is highly vulnerable

  • Study of cognitive function impairment caused by chronic fluorosis.

    Objective: To investigate whether an impairment in cognitive function exists in patients diagnosed with fluoride poisoning as well as its biological basis. Methods: Individuals suffering from fluoride poisoning from a high fluorine region were selected for the study group, while healthy individuals from a nonendemic region were selected as the control group. Using

  • Fluoride Affects Learning & Memory in Animals

    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

    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

  • Fluoride's Effect on Fetal Brain

    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

  • 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.
