Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the morphological changes of cardiomyocytes exposed to different sodium fluoride (NaF) concentrations, as well as to evaluate the behavior of the mitochondria.
Methods: Rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to NaF at concentrations of 0.5 to 5 mmol/L. The morphology and number of mitochondria in these cells were monitored, and the calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration was determined.
Results: Morphological changes were evident in the cells treated with different NaF concentrations, and both the number of mitochondria and the Ca2+ concentration decreased in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion: Sodium fluoride induced morphological damage in cardiomyocytes, decreases the Ca2+ concentration and mitochondrial number.
期刊介绍：
The Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal (PRHSJ) is the scientific journal of the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. It was founded in 1982 as a vehicle for the publication of reports on scientific research conducted in-campus, Puerto Rico and abroad. All published work is original and peer-reviewed. The PRHSJ is included in PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, Latindex, EBSCO, SHERPA/RoMEO, Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch®) and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition. All papers are published both online and in hard copy. From its beginning, the PRHSJ is being published regularly four times a year. The scope of the journal includes a range of medical, dental, public health, pharmaceutical and biosocial sciences research. The journal publishes full-length articles, brief reports, special articles, reviews, editorials, case reports, clinical images, and letters arising from published material.
