No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2005-06-01; Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a potent selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, etoricoxib, on the prevention of alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis induced in rats. Methods: Ninety Wistar rats were separated into three experimental groups. ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006-01-01; We have investigated the specific contribution of protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) to host defense during Porphyromonas gingivalis infection. Culture supernatants from P. gingivalis strains 33277 and W50 provoked Ca2+ mobilization in cells transfected with PAR2 (PAR2-KNRK) and desensitized the subse...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Background: Leukotrienes (LTs) participate in the process of tissue damage in periodontal disease by leukocyte chemotaxis and osteoclastic activation. The activation of Cysteinyl-LT receptor is associated with increased expression of proinflammatory molecules and osteoclastogenesis. However, its implica...
