Abstract

Abstract. Fluoride has toxic potential particularly for teeth, bones, and kidney. This study was aimed to in- vestigate the NaF exposure effects on the growth of ameloblasts and kidney proximal tubular cells. Adult male healthy rats were used as experiment models, divided into control and NaF-induced groups. The expression of amelogenin, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 were significantly different in the control and NaF-induced group (P < 0.05). There was no correlation among these proteins in the control group but significant correlation in the NaF-induced group (r = 0.694). There was a significant correlation in proximal tubu - lar cells, as seen from the increase of caspase-3 in the NaF-induced group (r = 0.715).
