Abstract in Portuguese
A exposição a baixos níveis de chumbo é associada a desordens cognitivas e neurológicas em crianças. Foi descrito um aumento dos níveis de chumbo no sangue de crianças que vivem em comunidades que recebem água fluoretada. Este estudo testou se flúor a 100 ppm na forma de ácido fluorsilícico na água induziria aumento na concentração de chumbo no sangue e tecidos calcificados de ratos Wistar expostos a baixos níveis de chumbo desde a idade gestacional. Ratas foram separadas em quatro grupos: controle e grupos que receberam água que continham 100 mg/L de fluoreto (F), 30 mg/L de chumbo (Pb), ou 100 mg/L de F e 30 mg/L de Pb (F+Pb), desde uma semana antes do acasalamento até que os filhotes completassem 81 dias. Todos os animais foram pesados ao longo do experimento. Sangue e tecidos calcificados foram coletados com 81 dias para análise de chumbo, flúor e fósforo em esmalte, dentina, osso total, osso superficial e sangue. Chumbo foi determinado por ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). Flúor foi medido através de elétrodo íon-específico e fósforo foi determinado por reação colorimétrica. As concentrações de chumbo triplicaram no grupo F+Pb (76.7±11.0 µg/dL) em comparação ao grupo Pb (22.6±8.5 µg/dL)(p <0.001), com a mesma tendência observada em todos os tecidos calcificados analisados (p <0.001 para todas as comparações). No esmalte, as concentrações de chumbo analisadas foram 2.5 vezes mais altas no grupo F+Pb em comparação ao grupo Pb (4,369±1,353 µg/g versus 1,768±1,892 µg/g). Na dentina, a concentração de chumbo encontrada no grupo F+Pb era 8.5±2.0 µg/g versus 4.9±1.7 µg/g no grupo Pb. Na superfície óssea, a concentração de chumbo encontrada no grupo F+Pb era 3.1 vezes maior do que as determinadas no grupo Pb, com 28.0±10.6 e 9.0±3.7 µg/g nos grupos F+Pb e Pb, respectivamente. No osso total, os valores de chumbo dobraram no grupo F+Pb (14.2±2.6 µg/g) em comparação com o grupo Pb (6.8±1.7 µg/g). Os valores de chumbo estavam abaixo do limite de detecção na maioria das amostras dos grupos Controle e F. As concentrações de flúor aumentaram em ambos os grupos expostos a flúor (F e F+Pb), com diferenças estatisticamente significantes dos grupos controle e Pb, mas nenhuma diferença foi encontrada nas concentrações de F entre os grupos F e F+Pb em quaisquer dos tecidos calcificados testados. Em conclusão, este estudo mostra um aumento nas concentrações de chumbo no sangue total, esmalte, dentina, superfície óssea e osso total em ratas com 81 dias expostas ao flúor e chumbo desde o período pré-natal.

Abstract in English
Low-level lead exposure is linked to cognitive and neurological disorders in children. An increased risk for higher blood lead levels was described for children living in communities that receive fluoridated-water. This study tested whether water fluoride would induce increases in the blood and calcified tissue lead concentrations in Wistar rats exposed to low lead levels since gestational age. Female rats were allocated in four groups: control, and 3 groups that received water containing 100 mg/L of fluoride (F), 30 mg/L of lead (Pb), or 100 mg/L of F and 30 mg/L of Pb (F+Pb). Females mated and delivered their pups receiving the same water treatment. Female pups were maintained on the same water regimen until day 81. Lead was determined by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry), and fluoride was measured by ion-specific electrode in the whole blood, superficial enamel, dentine, surface bane, and whole bane. Mean whole blood lead concentrations triplicated in the F+Pb group (76.7±11.0 µg/dL) in comparison to the Pb group (22.6±8.5 µg/dL)(p < 0.001), with the same trend observed in all calcified tissues analyzed (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). In the enamel, mean lead concentrations were 2.5 times higher in the F+Pb group compared with the Pb group (4,369±1,353 µg/g versus 1,768±892 µg/g). In dentine, mean lead concentration found in F+Pb group was 8.5 ±2.0 µg/g versus 4.9±1.7 µg/g in the Pb group. In the bane surface, the mean lead concentration found in the F+Pb group was 3.1 times that determined in the Pb animals, with 28.0±10.6 and 9.0±3.7 µg/g in the F+Pb and Pb groups, respectively. In whole bane, mean lead values doubled in the F+Pb group (14.2±2.6 µg/g) in comparison with the Pb group (6.8±1.7 µg/g). Lead values were below detection limit in most Control and F group samples. Fluoride concentrations were increased in both groups exposed to fluoride (F and F+Pb), with statistically significant differences from the control and Pb groups, but no differences in the F concentrations were found between the F and F+Pb group in any of the calcified tissues tested. In conclusion, this study shows a fluoride-induced increase in the concentrations of lead of whole blood, enamel, dentine, surface bane and whole bane of 81-day female rats exposed to lead since gestational age, suggesting that a biological effect not recognized so far may underlie the epidemiological association between increased blood lead levels in children living in water-fluoridated communities.
