Recent in vitro findings indicate that cytokines represent an important pathway of connective
tissue destruction in human periodontitis. The biological effects of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and …

We have estimated the levels of Interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) by ELISA in gingival crevicular
fluid (GCF) at 58 sites from 37 patients with adult periodontitis. GCF was collected for 5 s on …

Abstract Interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), a potent stimulator of bone resorption, has been implicated
in the pathogenesis of periodontal destruction. However, the relationship between cytokines …

Cytokines play an important role in the pathology associated with chronic inflammatory
diseases. We measured the total amounts [picograms (pg)] and concentrations (pg/μl) of …

Background: Various cytokines have been identified at sites of chronic inflammation such as
periodontitis. Cytokines are synthesized in response to bacteria and their products, inducing …

This paper describes a study of whether or not the amounts of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) in gingival
crevicular fluid (GCF) are correlated with periodontal clinical measures. A sensitive ELISA …

Samples of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were harvested from sites manifesting features
characteristic of active disease including inflammation, periodontal attachment loss, and …

The concentration of interleukin‐1β is elevated in inflamed gingival tissue. Therefore a
method for the measurement of interleukin‐1β (Il‐1β) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) using …

Introduction: Cytokines are of major importance in periodontal disease progression.
Interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) stimulates interferon‐γ production by T helper type 1 (Th1) cells while …

Objectives: The balance between pro‐inflammatory and anti‐inflammatory cytokines may be
crucial for determining the immunopathology of gingivitis (G) and periodontitis. This study …
