Table 2.
Group | Mean GCF Concentration | Mean Serum Concentration |
---|---|---|
Healthy | 2.52 ± 0.22 μg/mL | 0.47 ± 0.05 μg/mL |
Diseased | 2.69 ± 0.44 μg/mL | 0.61 ± 0.13 μg/mL |
Results are presented as mean ± SEM. In both groups, there was a significant difference between GCF and serum levels (P < 0.01).
