Melatonin decreases plasma TNF-α and improves nonenzymatic antioxidant defence and insulin sensitivity in rats with apical periodontitis fed a high-fat diet

Rodrigo Martins dos Santos et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of melatonin treatment on oxidative stress and insulin resistance in rats with apical periodontitis fed a high-fat diet. The results showed that apical periodontitis and high-fat diet promoted insulin resistance, and melatonin treatment improved this alteration. Furthermore, melatonin treatment also reversed the increased inflammatory factors and oxidative damage.

Effects of melatonin on insulin signaling and inflammatory pathways of rats with apical periodontitis

B. S. Tavares et al.

Summary: The study confirmed the beneficial effects of melatonin supplementation on insulin sensitivity, inflammatory pathways, and insulin signaling in rats with apical periodontitis. Results indicated that melatonin can reduce inflammation caused by apical periodontitis and improve insulin signaling pathways in muscles.

Influence of a High-fat Diet in the Progression of Apical Periodontitis

Sabrina C. Brasil et al.

Summary: The study found that a high-fat diet can exacerbate the progression and severity of apical periodontitis in rats, leading to increased body mass, liver mass, and hepatic triglycerides. Additionally, bone mineral density was reduced in the high-fat diet group compared to the control diet group.

Inhibition of Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Bone Loss by Saikosaponin D is Associated with Regulation of the RANKL/RANK Pathway

Xinhui Wu et al.

Summary: Saikosaponin D (SSD) inhibits osteoclast formation and bone resorption, demonstrating anti-inflammatory and anti-bone loss effects. This study provides new evidence for SSD as a potential agent for treating osteoclast-related conditions.

Melatonin-doped polymeric nanoparticles reinforce and remineralize radicular dentin: Morpho-histological, chemical and biomechanical studies

Manuel Toledano et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effectiveness of novel polymeric nanoparticles doped with melatonin in reducing dentin permeability and facilitating dentin remineralization after endodontic treatment. Results showed that melatonin-doped nanoparticles effectively sealed dentinal tubules, strengthened the structure of radicular dentin, and promoted durable remineralization. This may provide a new approach for improving root canal treatment outcomes.
