Scientists have detected significant differences in the cytokine and chemokine make up of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) taken from chronic periodontitis patients with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes and those without.
?ncontrolled type 2 [diabetes] modulated the local levels of several cyto/chemokines at healthy and diseased sites in favour of a proinflammatory profile,? report Poliana Duarte (Guarulhos University, S?o Paulo, Brazil) and co-workers in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.
?These findings may partially explain the greater susceptibility of diabetic subjects to periodontal breakdown.?
