The level of malondialdehyde, a stable end product of lipid peroxidation induced by reactive oxygen intermediates and the activity of two potent antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, was investigated in tissue homogenates of 22 surgical periapical granuloma specimens.
Infection and dysbiosis present a close relationship with metabolic diseases although the influence of apical periodontitis (AP) in this context needs further investigation. This study evaluated the influence of AP in a rat model of metabolic syndrome induced by 10% fructose OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether apical periodontitis lesions infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) exhibit higher levels of oxidative stress biomarkers [8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG)] and bone resorption regulators [receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF-κB)
BACKGROUND
This study evaluated the development of periapical lesions in a rat model of type 2 diabetes and assessed the potential actions of the antioxidant agent tempol in this model.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats were used; they received tap water (N = 5) or a 20% glucose solution (N = 15) during a
