Table 1.
Body weights and blood glucose levels in normal, periodontitis, and liraglutide-treated periodontitis rats.
| Variable | Normal (n = 8) | Periodontitis (n = 8) | P value | Periodontitis + liraglutide (n = 7) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Body weight (g) | 191.0 ± 3.6 | 188.0 ± 7.7 | >0.999 | 188.0 ± 5.9 | >0.999 |

| Body weight (g) | 313.1 ± 11.6 | 309.3 ± 9.7 | >0.999 | 294.1 ± 8.3 | 0.705 |
| Blood glucose (mmol/L) | 5.9 ± 1.3 | 5.3 ± 1.0 | >0.999 | 5.8 ± 1.4 | >0.999 |
Pretreatment: the day of the ligature. Posttreatment: two weeks after the ligature with or without liraglutide. Data are means ± standarderror. P value versus normal rats.
