Table I.
Comparison between time points during periodontitis progression.
| Moment | NOx (μmol/L) | TOS (μmol Equiv H2O2/L) | TAC (mmol Equiv TROLOX/L) | OSI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | 34.111±1.826 | 31.1±1.703 | 1.09±0.001 | 0.285±0.015 |
| D3 | 96.029±2.493 | 39.235±2.508 | 1.0905±0.001 | 0.359±0.023 |
| D6 | 101.95±3.34 | 40.93±1.914 | 1.0902±0.001 | 0.375±0.017 |
| D8 | 101.773±3.234 | 46.354±1.286 | 1.0898±0.001 | 0.425±0.01 |
| D16 | 114.409±6.948 | 44.216±3.962 | 1.0897±0.001 | 0.405±0.036 |
Values are expressed as Mean ± SD of five determinations. NOx = total nitrites and nitrates; TOS = total oxidative status; TAC = total antioxidant capacity; OSI = oxidative stress index, in 5 moments: D1- day 1, D3 – day 3, D6 – day 6, D8 – day 8, D16 – day 16.
