Abstract

The influence of fluorine administration on central nervous system’s (CNS) performances in female mice treated during gestation with two distinct doses of sodium fluoride (NaF): 0.25 mg and 0.50 mg. The research extended also to offspring (generation 1 – F1), treated with NaF in allopathic (0.25 and 0.50 mg), homeopathic (7CH) or with the association between the two types (allopathic and homeopathic) of doses. CNS performance modification was also assessed in the second generation offspring (F2), in which fluorine was exclusively taken from ascendant generations. Evaluation of CNS activity was performed by determining clearing time in classic maze (CM) at several time intervals (roughly 21 days between determinations). Experimental results showed that, in young offspring (1 – F1) from ascendants treated with the same substance, CNS performances in investigative capacity are influenced depending on dose, gender and age. Similar effect was recorded for homeopathic remedy 7CH for which the influence on CNS performance is strongly correlated to the stage of physical development of offspring and to doses of NaF administered to ascendants. The results of pharmacological tests correlate strongly to modifications noted during anatomical pathology examination of cerebral cortex.

  • Neuroprotective influence of taurine on fluoride-induced biochemical and behavioral deficits in rats.

    Highlights Influence of taurine was studied in rat model of fluoride neurotoxicity. Taurine reversed the fluoride-induced neurobehavioural deficits. Taurine decreased intracellular hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation levels. Taurine reversed the fluoride-induced inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity. Taurine may be a potential therapeutic agent in fluoride-mediated neurotoxicity. Epidemiological and experimental studies have

  • Psychopharmacology of fluoride: a review

    Although the blood-brain barrier is relatively impermeable to fluoride, it does not pose an absolute barrier and fluoride has the ability to enter the brain. The literature was examined to assess the quality of the evidence for cerebral impairment occurring due to exposure to fluoride from therapeutic or environmental sources.

    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
