title: Fluoride, fluoride resistance and glycolysis in cultured cells.
abstract: Long-term (several years) exposure to fluoride induced decreased production of lactate in cultured, fluoride resistant LS cells. In intact, sensitive cells, 6 mM NaF had no effect on glycolysis, whereas in homogenates, from both resistant and sensitive cells, lactate production was blocked by 6 mM NaF, indicating the cell membrane to be a barrier to fluoride. A lower intracellular rather than extracellular fluoride concentration was found in the sensitive cell with a ratio of 0.4, whereas fluoride resistant cells excluded fluoride from their intracellular milieu.
