Sixty males were included in this work to avoid the contribution of any other hormonal imbalance. The classification of gingival tissue into normal, mild, moderate and severe was based on both clinical examination and histopatho- logical finding. The increase in clinical and histopathological indeces was directly proportional to the increase in prostaglandins level. In severe gin- gival inflammation, the level of prostaglandins was found to be increased more than ten folds com- . pared to normal gingiva. Thus the more the in- flammatory cells , the more the production of prostaglandins. These migrating inflammatory cells were the major source of local prostaglandins syn- thesis in gingival tissue. Non-steroidal anti-inflam- matory drugs may be of value in reducing bone resorption after periodontal therapy, since they reduce prostaglandins synthesis from the infiltrating inflammatory cells .  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : the egypt journal haemat  Volume : 12  Issue Number : 1-2  Publishing Year : 1987 AH 1987 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, December 10, 2007  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حكيم السيد Al-Sayed, Hakem Investigator Doctorate   ميرفت الأنصاري Al-Ansary, Mervat Researcher Master   Files File Name Type Description  LEVEL OF PROSTAGLANDINS IN PEMODONTAL.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
