title: Acute kidney toxicity of sodium fluoride in the rat.
abstract: Single i.p injection of 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mmol NaF/kg to male rats induced a dose-related increase of urine gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) elimination on the first day for all doses higher or equal to 0.25 mmol NaF/kg. Kidney damage began between 2--4 h following the injection and lasted only 12 h for the 0.50 mmol NaF/kg dose. There was an increase of diuresis and of phosphaturia even at lower doses.
