Visfatin is considered an inflammatory biomarker in periodontal disease (PD). In this meta-
analysis, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between Visfatin biomarker level with PD. In …

Background Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection in
the periodontal support tissue. Visfatin, a hormone secreted mainly by adipocytes and …

Objective Periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease associated with systemic factors.
Visfatin is a pleiotropic adipokine that exerts metabolic and immune functions. Studies have …

Background: Adipokines enhance the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs), which play a role in extracellular matrix degeneration. The aim …

Background: There is little clinical information on the relationship between
periodontopathogens and visfatin. The purpose of this study is to determine visfatin levels in …

Background: Visfatin, also known as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, has been
suggested as a pro-inflammatory and immunomodulating marker for periodontitis. The aim …

Methods: This prospective clinical study included a total of 20 subjects who were divided
into two groups with 10 patients in each viz Group A: Periodontally healthy subjects, Group …

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the levels of salivary visfatin in healthy controls,
patients with gingivitis and patients with chronic periodontitis and also to assess the …

Background: Periodontal disease is one of the most common prevailing diseases, where the
destruction occurs due to the direct effect of microorganisms and indirectly by the stimulation …

Background and objective Visfatin, a pleotropic mediator mostly produced by visceral fat, is
crucial in controlling the immunological and defensive systems. It serves the roles of a …
