Abstract
Summary
Serum cholesterol level was determined in 5 series of rats receiving either different fats in their diets or different fats plus fluoride to determine whether the use of fluoride is associated with an increased serum cholesterol level. After administration of 2 mg of fluoride daily throughout a 10-week period there was no significant change in serum cholesterol level of rats regardless of their dietary fat source or the presence of fluoride. Comparison of body weight gains of the various groups fails to suggest that any of the fats used resulted in increased fluoride toxicity.
