“…Both oral infections increased the total number of leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes and glucose concentrations in mice with DM.Azuma et al, 2017[27] 2b/B ♀Winstar mice n = 40 (10 each group) Normoglycemic rats (N); Normoglycemic rats with apical periodontitis (N-AP); rats with experimental diabetes (ED), and rats with experimental diabetes and apical periodontitis (ED-AP) Nr AP did not impact the levels of IL-17 in hepatic and renal tissues, irrespective of the presence or absence of diabetes. There is an increase of IL-17 levels in the periapical region of diabetic rats without AP (ED) as compared to control rats (N), and an increase of IL-17 levels in AP rats with experimental diabetes (ED-AP) was observed as compared to the N-AP.Prieto et al, 2017[28] 2b/B ♀Winstar mice n = 40 (10 each group) G1:CG, G2: AP, G3: DM, G4: DM + AP YesMicroscopically in the groups with AP (AP and DM + AP), an increase in the intensity and extent of the inflammatory infiltrate was noted, periapical lesions in the diabetic rats were higher and more aggressive compared with that in normoglycemic rats, AP associated with diabetes reduced the serum levels of albumin and increased the endogenous antioxidant uric acid.Ferreira et al, 2017[29] 2b/B ♀Winstar mice n = 80 (10 each group) G1:CG, G2: AP, G3:PD, G4:AP + PD, G5:DM, G6: DM + AP, G7: DM + PD, G8:DM + AP + PDNrThe presence of oral infections increased blood glucose concentrations in diabetic rats. DM + PD and DM + AP + PD groups had higher mean values of platelet count with statistical difference compared to CG and AP groups.AP: apical periodontitis; CG: control group; DM: diabetes mellitus; DM2: diabetes mellitus type 2; M: meta-analysis; no-DM: no diabetes mellitus; HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin; n: sample; PD: periodontal disease; TG: treatment group; #: Diabetes mellitus was induced with Streptozotocin, apical periodontitis with oral exposition and periodontal disease by periodontal ligature.…”
