title: [Fluoride in the organism of mother and fetus. II. Fluoride cumulation in the organism of the fetus].
abstract: The authors present the results of measuring the content of fluoride, calcium and phosphates performed on material comprising 66 thigh bones of human fetus in 4 age groups. In the studies the division into epiphysis and metaphysis parts was taken into consideration. A prepared complication furnishes the ratios of calcium to fluoride and calcium to phosphates in epiphysis and metaphysis parts, as well as ratio of calcium in epiphysis to calcium in metaphysis parts of the studied bones in the respective age groups. It has been disclosed that the increasing fluoride cumulation in fetal bones is a signal that the human organism is likely to be exposed to fluorine action already during the fetal life period. The fluoride content in thigh bones of fetus does not correlate with the content of calcium and phosphates, which may be evidence that there is a lack of significant influence of the determined fluoride content on the mineralization process taking place in bones at this period of life.
