Abstract
As part of our study on the toxic effects of deltamethrin and fluoride (F) on antioxidant parameters in rats, hematological effects of these chemicals were evaluated in the same animals. Deltamethrin and F produced a marked decrease in the hematological parameters including total erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and total leukocyte count. Among alterations in the leukocytes, lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and eosinopenia were observed. Exposure of the rats to both deltamethrin and F together gave the greatest changes.
NOTE FROM FAN: Deltamethrin is a brominated pyrethroid insecticide. The specific foods that this pesticide is approved for in the U.S. are here.

Haematological alterations induced by subchronic oral exposure of buffalo calves to fipronil and fluoride.
A study is reported on haematological alterations in buffalo calves from subchronic oral exposure to the pesticide fipronil, sodium fluoride alone, and the two in combination. Twenty-four male buffalo calves, 6 to 12 months old, were divided into 4 groups of 6 animals each. Group I without treatment served as

Effect of high fluorine (F) intake on tissue lead (Pb) concentrations
Four groups of 10 male, albino Sprague Dawley rats receiving either deionized water or deionized water containing 300 parts per million (ppm) F as NaF, 200 Pb as Pb acetate or F+Pb at 300 and 200 ppm, respectively, as drinking water for 10 weeks were fed a casein-based purified diet.

Pattern of expression of apoptosis and inflammatory genes in humans exposed to arsenic and/or fluoride
We have assessed whether the combined exposure to arsenic (As) and fluoride (F) exerts a different effect than the exposure to As alone on the pattern of expression of apoptosis and inflammatory genes by immune cells. RNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from twenty individuals exposed or not

Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) epiphyseal proteins give protection from arsenic and fluoride-induced adverse changes in acetylcholinesterase activity in rats
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fluoride (F) and arsenic (As) on the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a critically important nervous system enzyme, and to test the protective role of buffalo epiphyseal (pineal) proteins (BEP) in rats. Arsenic (20 mg/kg BW, intraperitoneally) and F (150

Oxidative stress parameters in rats exposed to fluoride and caffeine
In our experiment, the 1-month effects of caffeine (Caff) and fluoride (F) administered separately and together on nitric oxide and total antioxidant status in serum, brain, liver and kidney of rats were investigated. Also, the influence of caffeine on fluoride excretion with urine was studied. Thirty adult male Wistar rats
