ACE2 gene expression and inflammatory conditions in periodontal microenvironment of COVID-19 patients with and without diabetes evaluated by qPCR
2022-03-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> Chronic periodontitis has been proposed to be linked to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the basis of its inflammation mechanism. We aimed to evaluate this association by investigating the expression of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE2) in periodontal compartments, which contain dysbiosis-associated pathogenic bacteria, and how it can be directly or indirectly involved in exacerbating infl...
