PGE2 concentration in teeth pulp tissue as a marker for the effectivenes of different types of treatment for periodontopathy

Activation of the immune system, followed by an increase in the concentration of different immune mediators (among which is found PGE2)is observed during different types of infections and diseases. In our experiment, we monitored the concentration of PGE2 in patients with generalized periodontopathy. The disease is characterized by severe inflammation of the gingival tissue

Protective role of vitamins E and C in carbon tetrachloride induced acute liver damage

The CCL4 hepatotoxic impact is achieved when it is activated to from highly reactive radicals, which have various effects; initiation of lipid peroxidation being probably the most important one. The toxic outcome may be prevented through use of antioxidants; vitamin E presenting the first line of defence. Keeping the concentration of reduced vitamin E,requires a network of other antioxidants that can reduce the radical from of vitamin E to its native from. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is able to reduce vitamin E directly
