Gingival periodontal diseases level-butyric acid (BA) affected matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9-modulated inflammation affected representative neurological blood biomarkers. Quantification of blood cytosolic (A) MMP-9 activity and (B) toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) amounts are indicated. Results shown are mean ± SE utilizing independent samples (collected at 0, 6, and 12 h post-treatment with BA) of 10-week-old Wistar male rats (n = 6). Statistical analyses were performed using Anderson–Darling normality test and, if passed (p > 0.05), Student’s t-test (**p < 0.01). (C) Western blotting data of representative blood biomarkers. Antibodies used to detect amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin-1 (PS1), preseinilin-2 (PS2), and glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate (GAPDH) are indicated.
