Abstract
Summary
A study was made of the effects of low concentrations of fluoride on activity of salivary and human prostate acid phosphatase and yeast enolase. Concentrations of fluoride or concentrations that could be derived from fluoridation of drinking water did not significantly alter enzymatic activity. The straight line relationship between the logarithms of low fluoride concentrations and logarithms of percent of enzyme activity remaining suggested that it is possible to analyze fluoride content of pure aqueous solutions by degree of inhibition of activity of acid phosphatase of human prostate tissue.
