Abstract
The absorption of variously bonded fluorine compounds from the gastrointestinal tract of the rat was determined. NaF, Na2SiF6, Na2PO3F and SnF2 were absorbed to the same extent (48%), whereas KPF6, EtNPF6 and KBF4 were absorbed to a significantly greater degree (74%). The results suggest that covalently held fluorine compounds are absorbed at a greater rate than the fluoride ion.Keywords
