Fluoride (F), as a natural element found in a wide range of sources such as water and certain foods, has been proven to be beneficial in preventing dental caries, but concerns have been raised regarding its potential deleterious effects on overall health. Sodium fluoride (NaF), another form of F, has the ability to accumulate in reproductive organs and interfere with hormonal regulation and oxidative stress pathways, contributing to reproductive toxicity. While the exact mechanisms of F-induced reproductive toxicity are not fully understood, this review aims to elucidate the mechanisms involved in testicular and ovarian injury.

Transmitted through the bite of an infected sandfly, its progression depends on the interplay between the host immune response and the parasite. The disease outcome is linked to macrophage polarisation into M1 and M2 phenotypes.

Background: Our study aims to provide evidence concerning the relationship between hyperuricemia, gout and Vitamin D deficiency by analyzing data from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, and through Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.
Methods: Sample 1 involved patients from PUMCH (n=13,532), and sample 2 involved participants from NHANES (Unweighted n=22,860; weight n=182,829,142). Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analyses were applied to assess above relationship.
