periodontitis/obesity

Adiponectin is an adipokine that sensitizes the body to insulin. Low levels of adiponectin have been reported in obesity, diabetes and periodontitis. In this study we established experimental periodontitis in male adiponectin knockout and diet-induced obesity mice, a model of obesity and type 2

OBJECTIVE To identify changes in the salivary protein/peptide profiles by differential proteomics in obese patients with or without periodontitis. METHODS Periodontal examinations and whole saliva samples were obtained from 38 obese patients (mean age: 45.1 ± 7.3 years, mean BMI: 49.3 ± 9 kg/m(2) )

OBJECTIVE Tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) is considered a key signalling modulator in the pathogenesis of both periodontitis (PD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This study aims at elucidating the effect of TNF-α blocking on the interplay between PD and DM2. METHODS Obese diabetic Zucker rats

Muscle strength declines and gums recede with increasing age across the life course. Possible associations exist between handgrip strength as an indicator of physical fitness and periodontitis and number of teeth. Handgrip strength (GS), anthropometric measures, clinical attachment loss, number of

OBJECTIVE Obesity is increasing in prevalence worldwide and has emerged as a strong risk factor for periodontal disease. Conversely, the remote effects of periodontal disease on various systemic diseases have been proposed. The aim of this study is to determine the presence of MCP-4 and high

The AB0 blood group has been linked to ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and periodontal disease, while the Lewis blood group has been linked to ischaemic heart disease and obesity, all of which have been associated with periodontitis. AB0 or Lewis blood group phenotype may therefore constitute

Epidemiological data indicate an association between periodontitis and obesity. The biological mechanisms of this relationship remain unclear. A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between periodontitis and the common systemic inflammatory markers in 32 morbidly obese

BACKGROUND This study explored whether there is an association between prepregnancy obesity and periodontitis among pregnant females. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted by using data from a previous case-control study at Woman's Hospital, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One hundred

OBJECTIVE Patients with diabetes retinopathy appear to show increased susceptibility to periodontal disease. This study was performed to assess the relationship between periodontitis and the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in a large probability sample of the Korean population. A subgroup

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to explore the influence of periodontitis and scaling and root planing (SRP) on insulin resistance and hepatic CD36 in obese rats with periodontitis. METHODS Thirty-two specific pathogen free Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups of eight

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the impacts of periodontitis on the visceral weight and weight percentage of obese animal models. METHODS A total of 64 C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following diet groups: high-fat diet (HFD) group (n=36), which was fed with high-fat diet to induce

OBJECTIVE To compare the expression of human beta-defensins (HBD) in the gingival tissues of obese and normal weight systemically healthy subjects. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from March 2010

To investigate the effect of periodontal therapy in controlling periodontitis and on insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in obese rats with periodontitis. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into normal group (group C), obese group (group O), periodontitis combined with obesity group (group P)

The purpose of this study is to determine an appropriate age threshold at which to recommend the evaluation of moderate and severe periodontitis among Korean adults.This study involved a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2012 to
