Abstract
Objective: To evaluate salivary apelin levels in individuals with and without type 1 diabetes presenting an intact periodontium and varying degrees of plaque-induced gingival inflammation.
Methods: Saliva samples were collected; and whole-mouth clinical periodontal measurements were recorded in type 1 diabetes and systemically healthy participants. Salivary apelin concentrations were determined using ELISA. Data were analysed statistically using the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality of distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test for intergroup differences, and Spearman's rank correlation analysis to assess correlations between clinical and biochemical parameters.
Results: A total of 99 participants; including 59 individuals in the type 1 diabetes group and 40 in the systemically healthy were included. The two groups were similar in terms of age, gender distribution, and smoking status (p > 0.05). The salivary apelin concentration in the diabetic group (4647.13 ± 8584.45 pg/mL) was almost twice that in the systemically healthy group (2704.12 ± 3006.73 pg/mL) without statistically significant difference (0.114). Clinical periodontal measurements were similar between the two groups (p > 0.05). Neither gender nor smoking status had a significant effect on apelin levels (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the observed trend toward higher salivary apelin levels in patients with type 1 diabetes may suggest a possible association that requires confirmation in larger cohorts.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
