Abstract
The addition of 0.15% NaF to the diet of 50 young rats produced a variable effect on ash content of bone. On a diet low in Ca, and on a stock diet of moderate Ca content, the ash content was decreased absolutely and relatively. On a high Ca rachito-genic diet it was definitely increased. However, the total ash in the incisor teeth was decreased in all cases. It was found impossible to correlate these results with any consistent change in the amount of inorganic Ca and P in the blood sera.
