Gum disease may alter key hormone and oxidative markers in diabetes patients
NCT ID NCT07691060
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study investigates how different levels of gum health influence asprosin (a hormone) and total oxidant/antioxidant levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will collect fluid from around the gums and blood samples from 67 participants to compare these markers between those with healthy gums, gingivitis, and periodontitis. The goal is to better understand the connection between oral health and systemic diabetes-related changes.
