Effects of fluoride exposure on thyroid hormone level and intelligence in rats.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of fluoride exposure on the thyroid hormone level and intelligence in rats and to investigate the biomarkers of intellectual impairment induced by high fluoride exposure. METHODS: A total of 24 clean healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (tap water containing 0.344 mg/L fluoride)

Analysis of the protective effects of y-aminobutyric acid during fluoride-induced hypothyroidism in male Kunming mice.
CONTEXT: Compounds to treat hypothyroidism in the absence of cardiac side effects are urgently required. In this regard, y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has gained interest due to its anti-anxiolytic, antihypertensive and antioxidant properties, and reported benefits to the thyroid system. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the ability of GABA to ameliorate fluoride-induced thyroid injury

The physiologic and hygienic aspects of the absorption of inorganic fluorides
Physiologic and hygienic aspects of the absorption of inorganic fluorides are reviewed. Three basic shortcomings in fluoride research are noted: its intake into the system, assimilation, and excretion are subject to great variation between persons; in contrast to extensive biochemical advances in fluoride research, relatively little clinical data is available

Study on serum T4, T3 and TSH levels in patients with chronic skeletal fluorosis
A study on the serum T4, T3, and TSH levels was performed in 27 patients with chronic skeletal fluorosis and the data obtained were compared with those of 20 healthy persons. The results showed that serum T4 in the patients was lower than in the controls and TSH was higher.

NRC (2006): Fluoride's Impact on the Thyroid Gland
Several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride exposure on thyroid function. It is difficult to predict exactly what effects on thyroid function are likely at what concentration of fluoride exposure and under what circumstances.

Fluoride Aggravates Thyroid Damage Caused by Excess Iodine Intake
Chinese researchers have found that the combination of excess fluoride with excess iodine caused greater reductions in IQ, or greater increases in goitre than either scenario by itself.

Fluoride Exposure Aggravates the Impact of Iodine Deficiency
A consistent body of animal and human research shows that fluoride exposure worsens the impact of an iodine deficiency. Iodine is the basic building block of the T3 and T4 hormones and thus an adequate iodine intake is essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. When iodine intake is inadequate during infancy and

Fluoride, Water Hardness, and Endemic Goitre
Variations in goitre prevalence were found to correlate closely with the fluoride content (p=0-74; P<0-01) and with the hardness (p=0.77; P<0-01) of the water in each village. The effects of fluoride and water hardness seem to be independent.

Fluoride & Goiter
Goitre (aka goiter) is an enlargement of the thyroid gland that in some cases can produce visible swelling in the neck. The main cause of goitre is iodine deficiency. Goitre can also be caused by other things, including hypothyroidism and substances that cause goitre (goitrogens). Since as far back as the
