The study was performed to reveal the detailed distribution profiles of fluoride in three different kinds of rat bone--humerus, vertebral arch, and parietal bone--and to compare this with the histological appearance of each bone type. Two groups of Wistar rats were provided water ad libitum containing 0 and 100 ppm fluoride, respectively, for 24 weeks. The fluoride distribution profiles across the bone of the three different bones from the outer to the inner surface were determined by means of an abrasive micro-sampling technique. In control animals, both humerus and parietal bones showed higher concentrations at the periosteal and endosteal surfaces, while the vertebral arch showed additional high levels in the middle (containing trabecular bone) of the tissue. In exposed animals, fluoride levels increased greatly in all three bone types. The vertebral and parietal fluoride distribution profiles were relatively unchanged, although humerus fluoride increased from periosteum to endosteum. The differences in fluoride distribution profiles were apparently related to the histological appearances of these bones. The surface area of bone available and the extent of vascularity appear to affect fluoride uptake.
