Association Between Antioxidant Nutrients, Oxidative Stress-Related Gene Polymorphism and Skeletal Fluorosis in Guizhou, China.

Introduction Fluorosis has become a public health problem worldwide. Excessive fluoride intake can disrupt the processes of bone formation and resorption, which may lead to bone turnover disorders and further result in skeletal fluorosis (1). More than 16.1 million dental fluorosis patients and 1.8 million patients with skeletal fluorosis have been reported in the Chinese […]

Effects of long-term fluoride exposure are associated with oxidative biochemistry impairment and global proteomic modulation, but not genotoxicity, in parotid glands of mice.

Background Fluoride has become widely used in dentistry because of its effectiveness in caries control. However, evidence indicates that excessive intake interferes with the metabolic processes of different tissues. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term exposure to F on the parotid salivary gland of mice, from the analysis of oxidative, proteomic […]
