Article Synopsis
  • Periodontal disease is common in diabetic patients, negatively impacting blood glucose control.
  • This study aimed to assess how different doses of beta-glucans (BG) from yeast affect alveolar bone loss and inflammation in diabetic and normal rats with periodontal disease.
  • Results showed that higher doses of BG (40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg) reduced bone loss and inflammatory markers in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats, while also improving metabolic parameters like blood glucose and cholesterol in diabetic rats.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of n-3 ingestion on periodontal disease. Besides, we also investigated the relationship between plasma concentrations of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and/or aracdonic acid (AA), and periodontal disease. An electronic search was performed in several databases with the following keywords: "n-3," DHA, EPA and polynsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in combination with the term "periodontal disease" (PD).
