Fig. 3From: The expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 is increased in experimental periodontitis in ratsPositive correlation between the increase in the levels of 11β-HSD1 mRNA and that of TNFα mRNA in the ligature-induced periodontitis compared with the control. ΔHSD1: subtraction of the values of 11β-HSD1 mRNA in the control from those in the ligature-induced periodontitis. ΔTNFα: subtraction of the values of TNFα mRNA in the control from those in the ligature-induced periodontitisBack to article page
