“…The mean total salivary antioxidant capacity of the present cohort at baseline was 2083 U.Carr which resulted higher than normal range thus denoting a potential state of inflammation in diabetic patients affected by moderate periodontitis. The over-production of free radicals caused by periodontal inflammation is in fact supposed to cause an up-regulation of the anti-oxidant defence [25,26]. The results of the present study agree with literature relating high levels of salivary antioxidants (SAT) to a possible periodontal inflammatory condition.…”

“…Akalin et al 46 also found that gingival SOD activity was lower in periodontitis groups than the matched control groups and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with healthy periodontal ligament had the highest but the CP group had the lowest SOD levels. However, consistent with our finding, other studies 41,47 have shown that SOD activity increases with the progression of inflammation in CP patients.…”

“…While Panjamurthy et al (52) reported significantly higher SOD levels in periodontitis compared to controls, Akalın et al (54,55) reported lower SOD in periodontitis patients. In our study, the decreases in SOD levels in rats affected by periodontitis were not statistically significant.…”
