Clofibrate, a PPAR‐α agonist, abrogates sodium fluoride‐induced neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and motor incoordination via modulation of GFAP/Iba‐1/anti‐calbindin signaling pathways

Fluoride is an environmental contaminant that is ubiquitously present in air, water, and soil. It is commonly added in minute quantity to drinking water, toothpaste, and mouth rinses to prevent tooth decay. Epidemiological findings have demonstrated that exposure to fluoride induced neurodevelopmental toxicity, developmental neurotoxicity, and motor disorders. The neuroprotective effect of clofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor...
