“…Almost a three fold increase in catalase activity in saliva of pregnant women with diabetic complications was found compared to healthy controls but a correlation with the parameters of oral health could not be established. 37 On comparison of diabetics with CP and healthy individuals with CP, in saliva the activities of SOD and CAT were decreased while that of GR was found to be elevated. 38 It was reasoned that the capacity to detoxify oxygen radicals was diminished because of excessive oxygen radical production from auto-oxidation of glucose, glycated proteins, and glycation of antioxidant enzymes.…”

“…MMP-9 is a protease often found elevated in patients with periodontal disease [13] and oral cancer [14]; whereas MPO, a peroxidase often used as a measure of neutrophil degranulation, is elevated in diabetic patients [15]. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was included because it appears in saliva of diabetic women [16]. C-reactive protein (CRP) was included because it is associated with inflammation and cardiovascular disease [17].…”

“…Even then, the collection procedure was difficult to standardize and the saliva flow rates were impossible to calculate. Therefore, the samples were collected as is, the analysis was limited to the mediators known to be detectable in saliva [26] and their concentrations were normalized per total salivary protein contents. Nevertheless, the interpretation of the data thus obtained is challenging and may be prone to bias.…”
