Micronucleus and sister chromatid exchange frequency in endemic fluorosis
Introduction Although widespread in occurrence, fluorine (as fluoride ion, F-) does not have any known physiological requirement. It is generally accepted, however, that long term over-intake of fluoride may cause skeletal as well as dental fluorosis. Many studies on other toxic effects of fluoride have been made, including whether it alters human genetic material and […]

Studies of relationships between the polymorphism of COMT gene and plasma proteomic profiling and children’s intelligence in high fluoride areas
Fluoride (F) widely exists in environment with a significant increase in body burden accumulation in recent years. Internal exposure to F due to diet including food, water, fluoride-containing dental products like toothpaste and fluoride supplements, is extensively researched. Additionally, industrial pollution and coal burning have also been reported to be major sources of internal F […]

Effect of excess fluoride ingestion on human thyroid function in Gaya region, Bihar, India.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The mean F concentration in groundwater, F exposure dose, mean F level in the serum and urine of study subjects are shown in Table 1. For a given concentration of F in groundwater, the exposure dose for children was more than that of adults. Although the study subjects of control area consumed […]
