[ 1 ] - ADVANCED GLYCATION END PRODUCTS AND ThiOBARBITURIC ACID REACTIVE SUBSTANCE IN GINGIVAL TISSUES OF DIABETIC AND NON-DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS

 ABSTRACT Background: Production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is directly linked to the level and duration of hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Free radicals are f01med in diabetes by glucose oxidation, nonenzymatic glycation of proteins and subsequent oxidative degradation of glycated proteins. Thiobar...
