“…Rats with LPS‐induced periodontitis exhibited a reduced total salivary response to pilocarpine and higher values of PGE 2 and NO in the SMG. It is well known that SMG is the major contributor to total saliva production in the oral cavity and that salivary secretion is an essential factor in the establishment and progression of oral infectious processes 30 , 45 . The influence of periodontitis on the pathophysiology of the SMG was evident in the present study.…”

“…Immediately after sacrifice of the rats, hemimandibles were resected, defleshed, and stained with 1% aqueous methylene blue to delineate the cemento‐enamel junction (CEJ) and the alveolar crest (AC) 29 . A stereomicroscope ‖ and stainless hardened digital caliper ¶ were used to measure three buccal and three lingual/palatal distances (mesial, central, and distal), from the CEJ to the AC 30 . The sum of the three distances of each side of molars was used as a measure of alveolar bone loss (ABL) in millimeters.…”

“…Many epidemiological studies reported that the incidence of periodontitis in residents living in areas with altitudes over 4000 meters was significantly higher than that in residents living at sea level (Jian et al, 2014). Animal experiments also revealed that hypoxia may induce severe periodontitis (Xiao et al, 2012;Terrizzi et al, 2013). The abovementioned evidence showed that hypoxic microenvironments may contribute to periodontal cells' inability to regenerate.…”

“…Environmental hypoxia increased iNOS activity in gingival tissue of rats, in agreement with the alveolar bone loss we observed under such condition. On the other hand, chronic lead intoxication did not significantly enhance iNOS activity in gingival tissue, according to the absence of bone damage previously observed (Terrizzi et al, 2013). It has been suggested that the increased expression of iNOS leads to the production of NO, a free radical that might be involved in bone destruction by modulating metalloproteinase synthesis (Jung et al, 2013).…”

“…Previously reported studies from this laboratory suggested that chronic intoxication with Pb in immature rats under hypoxic conditions impaired growth parameters, induced negative effects on mandibular structural properties that predispose to fractures, and produced alveolar and interradicular bone loss (Conti et al, 2012). Additionally, these environmental variables aggravated the pathophysiological alterations produced by periodontal disease when experimental periodontitis was induced (Terrizzi et al, 2013). Chronic exposure to Pb significantly affects oral health among exposed workers, increasing the prevalence of periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis), caries, missing and filled teeth, and dental LEAD AND HYPOXIA IMPAIR ORAL HEALTH 1305 abrasions (Won et al, 2013;El-Said et al, 2008).…”
