periodontitis/zea mays

Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease initiated by bacteria, resulting in bone resorption, tooth loss, and systemic inflammation. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) reduce periodontitis in animals. We aimed to determine whether DHA supplementation with

Gingival inflammation and alveolar bone resorption are hallmarks of adult periodontitis, elicited in response to oral micro-organisms such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. We hypothesized that omega (omega)-3 fatty acids (FA) dietary supplementation would modulate inflammatory reactions leading to

Dietary corn oil was consumed by Syrian golden hamsters at levels of 4.5 g [low fat (LF)] or 18 g [high fat (HF)]/385 kilocalories (kcal) from 3 to 7 weeks of age followed by a diet containing 9 g [medium fat (MF)]/385 kcal for life. In other groups MF diet was given from 3 to 7 weeks of age and

BACKGROUND Porphyromonas gingivalis is strongly implicated in the etiology of adult periodontitis by inducing inflammatory cytokines, resulting in gingival and periodontal tissue inflammation and alveolar bone resorption. This study tested the hypothesis that supplementing the diet with omega-3
