Background: Chronic periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease which is multifactorial. Diabetes mellitus is one of the major systemic factors to influence the severity of chronic periodontitis. Therefore, the aim of current study was to assess salivary biomarkers of Interleukine-17(IL-17), apelin, omentin and vaspin as putative candidates in the potential association between Diabetes mellitus and Chronic periodontitis. Methods: Whole saliva samples were collected from sixty adults sex and agematched patients who were further divided into two groups; healthy (control group; n = 30) and diabetic individuals with chronic periodontitis (n = 30). Salivary IL-17, apelin, omentin andvaspin concentrations were determined by standard enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay. Results: Salivary levels of IL-17, apelin and vaspin were significantly higher in diabetic patients with periodontitis group compared to control group. On the other hand, salivary levels of omentin were significantly lower in diabetic patients with periodontitis compared to control group. Conclusions: Our study supports the hypothesis that abnormal production of IL-17, apelin, omentin and vaspin can contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes-related complications including Chronic periodontitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
