Association of Progranulin and High Sensitivity CRP Concentrations in Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Serum in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects with and without Obesity

Abstract: Background: Obesity is considered as a strong risk factor of inflammatory periodontal tissue destruction. The purpose of this study is to determine presence of progranulin (PGRN) and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs CRP) levels in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in obese subjects with chronic periodontitis and to find an association, if any.Material and methods: 40 subjects (20 males and 20 females) were selected based on their clinical parameters into four groups (10 subjects in each group): … Show more

“…measured PGRN concentrations in serum and gingival crevicular fluid of 40 patients suffering from chronic periodentitis with and without obesity. The authors reported that the serum PGRN concentration was higher in both serum and gingival crevicular fluid in obese periodentitic patients; which can indicate that inflammation related to periodentitis and obesity may also be associated with PGRN concentration (27). In agreement with these findings, Hossein-Nezhad and cols.…”

“…Periodontitis may influence the levels of hs-CRP, and their serum elevation is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (36) as well as obesity and hyperlipidemia (37)(38)(39). CRP levels >3 mg/L can be classified as high risk of cardiovascular diseases, CRP = 1 to 3 mg/L as medium risk, and CRP <1 mg/L (40) as low risk.…”

“…The chronic proinflammatory state with CRP being a biomarker might be the link between obesity and periodontitis finally resulting in tooth loss (Boesing et al, 2009;Pradeep et al, 2012). Tooth loss is the possible consequence of oral disease experiences affected by accumulated inflammatory and environmental factors.…”
