The association between serum leptin level and periodontal parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mel-litus and periodontitis / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the association of serum leptin(LEP)level in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontitis with clinical periodontal indexes.Methods:30 healthy subjects(group A),30 chronic periodontitis patients(group B)and 30 type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis(DMCP)(group C)were included.Probing depth(PD),attachment loss(AL),plaque index (PLI)and bleeding on probe(BOP)were examined.High performance liquid chromatography detection was used to determine the ex-pression of the fasting plasma glucose (FPG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)in plasma samples.Serum level of LEP was measured by ELISA.Results:Levels of serum HbA1c,FPG and LEP in group C were significantly higher than those in group B and A(P 0.05);The r values of plasma LEP level to PD,AL,PLI and BOP were 0.506,0.551, 0.519 and 0.582 respectively(P <0.05).Conclusion:The LEP level is elevated in patients with DMCP.Circulating LEP level is positively related to PD,AL,PLI and BOP.
