November 2025 in “The Laryngoscope” This article reviews the use of sodium fluoride in otosclerosis management, finding limited evidence of its efficacy in preventing hearing deterioration and highlighting potential toxicity concerns.
January 2007 in “Chinese journal of plastic surgery” In this study, researchers observed that sodium selenite may counteract the pro-apoptotic effects of sodium fluoride on human scalp hair follicle cells in vitro.
This study found that certain concentrations of sodium fluoride accelerated apoptosis in cultured human hair follicles, while sodium selenite could counteract this toxicity in vitro.
January 2005 in “The Chinese Journal of Dermatovenereology” In this study, sodium fluoride at certain concentrations increased the MDA levels in cultured human hair follicles, while 0.01 mmol/L sodium selenite reduced this effect at lower fluoride concentrations.
January 2004 in “Chinese Journal of Aesthetic Medicine” This study found that sodium fluoride concentrations inhibited the growth of human hair follicles in vitro, while sodium selenite at a specific concentration mitigated its toxicity.
