Antioxidant potential of alpha-lipoic acid in mitigating progression of experimental periodontitis
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of alpha-lipoic acid supplementation, a well-known antioxidant with therapeutic potential, on the progression of experimental periodontitis in rats. Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups (n=6 per group): control, periodontitis, and periodontitis treated with alpha-lipoic acid. Periodontitis was induced by placing bandages around the lower first molars for 14 days. During this same period, the treated group received alpha-lipoic acid by gavage at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day and the control and periodontitis groups received distilled water. Biochemical analyses showed a significant increase in reduced glutathione levels in the supplemented group compared to the periodontitis group, although no significant changes were observed in Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity. Micro-Computed Tomography analysis revealed preservation of trabecular number and their thickness, along with an increase in tissue volume in the supplemented animals. Histological evaluation showed less alveolar bone damage and a larger collagen area in the group that received alpha-lipoic acid. The findings suggest that alpha-lipoic acid supplementation effectively mitigates damage associated with experimental periodontitis, enhances antioxidant defenses, and improves alveolar bone integrity.
期刊介绍:
Devoted to advancements in nutritional sciences, The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry presents experimental nutrition research as it relates to: biochemistry, molecular biology, toxicology, or physiology.
Rigorous reviews by an international editorial board of distinguished scientists ensure publication of the most current and key research being conducted in nutrition at the cellular, animal and human level. In addition to its monthly features of critical reviews and research articles, The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry also periodically publishes emerging issues, experimental methods, and other types of articles.
