the efficacy and prophylactic characteristics of omega-3 fatty acids in experimental gingivitis in rats
Authors
abstract
objective(s):gingivitis is an inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting tissues and is caused by a microbe-immune response. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on immune system regulation and the prevention and treatment of gingivitis using an animal model. materials and methods: gingival inflammation was induced by lipopolysaccharide (lps) injection. forty adult male rats were divided into four equal groups: 1. negative control group (sterile saline was injected into gingival tissue followed by oral gavage with saline); 2. positive control group (lps injection was followed by oral gavage with saline); 3. treatment group (lps injection was followed by oral gavage with omega-3); 4. prophylactic group (oral gavage with omega-3 was followed by lps injection). after 24 days, the rats were sacrificed and histological tissue samples were randomly evaluated for the inflammatory tissue changes. tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α) and interleukin-1β (il-1β) levels were measured by elisa. results: the levels of il-1β and tnf-α in the prophylactic group and the level of tnf-α in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the positive control group (p<0.05). the severity of inflammation was normal, slight, moderate, and severe in the negative control group, prophylactic group, treatment group, and positive control group, respectively. anova was used for the statistical analyses, with p<0.05 regarded as significant. conclusion: prior consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is effective in reducing inflammation in induced rat gingivitis, resulting in a decreased level of biomarkers and fewer destructive effects.

Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. The role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. The objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...

Heart failure (HF) incidence increases worldwide and is affected by various risk factors such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Dietary recommendations for patients with HF have generally focused on sodium restriction; however, different nutritional approaches are considered in patients with a high risk of malnutrition due to the diuretic drugs they use. Omega-3 f...

Objective(s): Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in maintaining human health. The present study aimed to reduce the fishy smell and taste of omega-3 fatty acids through the encapsulation of lipid vesicles. Materials and Methods: Different non-ionic surfactants from the sorbitan ester family and egg lecithin with cholesterol were utilized to form micro-niosomal and liposomal formulations ...

One of the most nervous system evolution are memory and learning in humans. Learning is a skill that enhances synaptic activity in the hippocampus of prefrontal cortex. In fact, basic passive learning is communication between the conditioned and Unconditioned stimulation. Passive learning involves three steps: habit, education and remember. According to the results of investigations, the hippoc...
