Scanning Electron Microscopy of the Rat Femur After Fluoride Ingestion

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Anorganic preparations of femurs from rats given 150 ppm fluoride in the drinking water for 10 wk revealed an increase in periosteal matrix and woven bone formation with a concomitant decrease in endosteal resorptive activity. Resorption of metaphyseal trabeculae was increased coupled with an inhibition of calcification in the epiphyseal plate.
