However, bone quality has not been studied in those experiments. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate bone quality in rats treated with fluoride when performing exercise. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups (n=6 per group): Control (drinking water without fluoride), Fluoride (drinking water with fluoride 15 mg/L for 30 days) and Exercise (daily running on a treadmill and drinking water with fluoride 15 mg/L for 30 days). Then, bone mineral density, mechanical and histological properties and bone fluoride level were measured. No effect of treatment on any bone parameters were observed. These results indicate that exercise normalizes glucose metabolism in insulin-resistant rats by bone fluoride uptake; however, this increase in bone fluoride does not manifest in bone deterioration.</p>","PeriodicalId":38814,"journal":{"name":"Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas de Cordoba","volume":"81 2","pages":"270-284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11370880/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141471324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
