In ten periodontitis patients suffering from type I diabetes mellitus, phagocytic activity, aggregation and chemiluminescence generation of blood granulocytes were determined. Compared to controls with clinically healthy periodontal conditions, the phagocytosis of zymosan particles and the aggregation response induced by the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine were significantly decreased, whereas aggregation induced by the platelet-activating factor, a potent mediator of inflammation, was significantly enhanced.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
