Abstract

The levels of sialic acid and glycosarainogly-cans (GAG) have been explored in the serum of fluorosed human subjects. The changes observed in the level of these chemical constituents In the serum oossibly reflect the changes occurring in cancellous bone, cortical bone and in other tissues due to fluoride ingestion. The sialic acid content versus GAG revealed a 505 reduction in serum from fluorosed subjects. The possibility of developing a sensitive prognostic test for fluorosis is discussed.
