The Role of the Parotid Salivary Glands in the Regulation of Insulin Secretion
… and the administration of parotid hormone (PH), sodium fluoride (NaF), or guanidino-succinic acid (GSA) were examined for effects on fasting plasma glucose and insulin or effects on intravenous glucose tolerance in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Basal glucose and insulin were substantially elevated as …

Multimodal Imaging of Inflammation at the Neurovascular Interface in Cerebrovascular Disease
… (PET) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF), measuring inflammation and microcalcification respectively, to identify culprit carotid atheroma in vivo, and establish how these processes influence plaque vulnerability. Furthermore, for stroke care it is the downstream …

Effects of Topical Fluoride Prophylactic Agents on the Mechanical Properties of Orthodontic Nickel-Titanium Closed Coil Springs and Stainless Steel Closed Coil Springs
… study was to investigate the effects of topical fluoride prophylactic agents on the mechanical unloading properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) and stainless steel (SS) closed coil springs. Spring were stored at 37˚C under static load in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and treated with either …

Anti-Caries Efficacy of Fluoride at Increasing Maturation of a Microcosm Biofilm
… is expected to alter the anti-caries efficacy of fluoride compounds. In the first aim, we conducted a series of modeldevelopment experiments to test different variables to standardize a reproducible in-vitro microbial caries model. We evaluated: surface conditioning using saliva; sucrose …

Studies of Used Fuel Fluorination and U Extraction Based on Molten Salt Technology for Advanced Molten Salt Fuel Fabrication
… a method of separating uranium (U) from lithium fluoride (LiF) and thorium fluoride (ThF4) salt also known as FLiTh for a thorium (Th) fuel cycle. The first technique proposed for UNF recycling was to use the cladding as an anode to oxidize the zircaloy and dissolve it into a LiF, sodium fluoride …

Absorption and luminescent excitation spectra of F and M centers in Kcl and NaF
… of the van Doorn-Haven model of the M center. In NaF crystals having no absorption bands to the red side of the M band, the absorption and excitation spectra of the M band were accurately double-Gaussian over a wide range of wavelengths; the efficiency of luminescence of the M center was …
