Abstract
Glucose concentration in the saliva is increased in type 1 diabetes mellitus. This parameter directly correlates with markers of the disease in the blood serum. Increased concentration of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and diene conjugates, markers of oxidative stress, and reduced activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase were also observed in this pathology. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between glucose concentration and the levels of oxidative stress markers and a negative correlation between activity of antioxidant enzymes and glucose concentration. The results indicate that the level of 8-OHdG, diene conjugates, and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities can serve as diagnostic markers of pathophysiological changes in the body in type 1 diabetes mellitus.
