Antioxidant Nutrients in Periodontal Health

The antioxidant master glutathione and periodontal health

Glutathione, considered to be the master antioxidant (AO), is the most-important redox regulator that controls inflammatory processes, and thus damage to the periodontium. Periodontitis patients have reduced total AO capacity in whole saliva, and lower concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) in serum and gingival crevicular fluid, and periodontal therapy restores the redox balance. Therapeu...

After completion questionnaire, data was...

the antioxidant master glutathione and periodontal health

glutathione, considered to be the master antioxidant (ao), is the most-important redox regulator that controls in therapeutic considerations for the adjunctive use of glutathione in management of periodontitis, in limiting the tissue damage associated with oxidative stress, and enhancing wound healing cannot beunderestimated, but need to be evaluated further through multi-centered randomized co...

Antioxidant Nutrients and Milk Quality

Milk quality is usually defined in terms of mastitis. Milk with a low somatic cell count (SCC) and is visibly normal (no clots) is considered high quality. Although these measures are clearly important, the definition of high quality milk must be expanded. To ensure a continued growing demand by consumers for dairy products, milk and dairy products must also taste good. A consumer that has a ba...
