Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Recently, a key role played in the ethiology of periodontitis has been highlighted by a Endothelin (ET-1). ET1 possess the ability to express surface antigens of endothelial and hematopoietic stem cells and to assist in maintaining vascular integrity and the repair mechanism of the endothelium. ET originate from bone marrow

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Observation

Detailed Description

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between ET-1 in patients with periodontitis. Furthermore, the objective was to determine if the periodontal status influenced ET-1 levels.
