Abstract

Fluoride decreased the initial uptake of 2-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) in LS cells only in high (supralethal) concentrations and after several hours of exposure. The steady state level of AIB seemed somewhat more sensitive as it was halved after 23 hours exposure to 6 mM-NaF. The cellular levels of some natural amino acids were also reduced by fluoride. However, cells resistant to fluoride showed equally lowered levels of amino acids, indicating that the observed effect of fluoride on cellular amino acid levels may be of little importance.
