Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of nanoparticle-based rice husk liquid smoke (n-RHLS) as a potential treatment for periodontitis in rats, focusing on its effects on key proteins involved in bone health.
- The experiment involved inoculating rats with bacteria to induce periodontitis, followed by treatment with n-RHLS and evaluation of osteoprotegerin (OPG), RANK, and RANKL levels through immunohistochemical staining.
- Results showed a significant increase in OPG and a notable decrease in RANKL expression after 7 days of n-RHLS treatment, suggesting it could be beneficial in promoting periodontal tissue health by modulating these proteins.
Objectives: Liquid smoke rice husk has been researched and proved to consist of antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and growth factor stimulatory properties. By these complex properties, the liquid smoke rice hull is able to purpose as a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) inhibitor. The research was conducted to analyze the role of the dominant compound in rice husk liquid smoke against one of the main proteases in complex with inhibitor N3 of COVID-19 and 6LU7 protein data bank (PDB) ID.
