Article Synopsis
- * A study on Wistar rats exposed to 3 ppm of arsenic in drinking water from fetal development showed behavioral deficits and increased levels of amyloid-β (Aβ) linked to higher activity of the enzyme β-secretase (BACE1).
- * The findings suggest that arsenic exposure disrupts the production and clearance of Aβ, indicating that early metal exposure could play a role in neurodegeneration and amyloid buildup in the brain.
Objective: To evaluate the expression of an activator of nuclear factor-kappa (RANK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), osteopontin (OPN), and transforming growth factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of teeth subjected to orthodontic forces.
Materials And Methods: A randomized, pilot clinical trial including 10 healthy volunteers was conducted using a split-mouth design. Orthodontic elastic separators were placed between the second premolar and first molar, with the contralateral quadrant serving as a control.
