Effects of rosuvastatin on inducible nitric oxide synthase in rats with hyperlipidaemia and periodontitis

Abstract: Administration of rosuvastatin reduced gingival iNOS expression in ligature-induced periodontitis with/without hyperlipidaemia. It also led to significant differences in ABL in rats with periodontitis, except when periodontitis was associated with hyperlipidaemia. These findings could provide an important contribution in further studies to evaluate the role of rosuvastatin as a host modulatory agent in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

“…In 6 studies, animals with systemic diseases (i.e, osteoporosis [26, 91, 92], metabolic syndrome [32], cyclosporine A-associated alveolar bone loss [35], hyperlipidemia [54], or hypertension [93] were used to evaluate the effect of statins treatment. Overall, 22 studies involved treatment with simvastatin, 7 with atorvastatin, 3 with rosuvastatin, 2 with lovastatin, and only one with fluvastatin.…”

“…NO can also promote cytokine production and bone turnover besides indirect induction of bone resorption 3 . In this regard, periodontitis results in higher production of NO compared to healthy gingiva 4 . Periodontal treatment may involve the use of several systemic antibiotics such as tetracycline (minocycline and doxycycline) as adjuvants due to its local distribution.…”

“…A good adjuvant response in both surgical and nonsurgical periodontal treatment has been shown in recent years by natural agents. Especially in the non-surgical approach, various antimicrobials and chemotherapy agents, including chlorhexidine, triclosan, desiccant agents, vitamin and probiotic compounds, and cetylpyridinium chloride, have been studied and validated for the management of periodontitis [24][25][26][27][28][29]. However, even more studies have aimed at analyzing phytotherapeutic drugs in order to obtain antimicrobial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects during periodontitis.…”
