Brief Summary:
Aging leads to a decline in physiological functions and increases the risk of chronic diseases Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes progressive destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth Taurine an amino acid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects might impact both periodontitis and aging This study investigated taurine SIRT1 and TNF-α levels in saliva and blood of 66 healthy people in different age groups with or without periodontal disease The findings showed that young people with healthy periodontal status had higher levels of taurine and SIRT1 compared to others TNF-α a marker of inflammation was linked to the severity of periodontitis and may help identifying it in younger individuals Overall higher TNF-α levels are associated with periodontal inflammation while taurine levels decrease with age-related inflammation
