Abstract:Fluoride (F), an inorganic substance, is everywhere in the environment. Fluoride exposure is caused mainly by geogenic sources, such as drinking wells and deep soil water. Excess fluoride-containing water usage for many years may cause neurotoxic damage. The mechanism underlying the neurotoxicology of endemic fluorosis remains obscure. Fluoride crosses the blood-brain barrier and accumulates within neurons. In our study, chronic exposure to fluoride-induced epileptogenesis in neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) cells was … Show more
