Metabolism of Inorganic Fluoride

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of fluorides

Abstract

The presence of fluoride has been recognized in biological materials since 1803 when Morichini demonstrated the presence of fluorine in fossilized elephant teeth. Its presence has been reported in biological samples of every type submitted to analysis, though admittedly, some of the early analytical methods employed left something to be desired when applied to such materials.

The author is most appreciative of the kindness of Dr. Harold C. Hodge in reading and commenting upon the manuscript of this chapter. He also expresses his thanks to Dr. Donald A. Morken for stimulating and helpful discussions of certain aspects of the dynamics of fluoride metabolism.

Part of the work reported herein was done under contract with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission at the University of Rochester Atomic Energy Project.
