Does chemical sympathectomy inhibit periodontal disease in Fischer 344 rats?
6-OHDA-induced chemical sympathectomy inhibits ligature-induced periodontal disease in this model. This effect may be attributable to the well-documented ability of the SNS to regulate immune system function primarily via the adrenergic neurotransmitter noradrenaline released at sympathetic nerve terminals. The enhanced HPA axis activation may be a compensatory response that reduces the T helper (Th)2 to Th1 skewing effect of treatment with 6-OHDA.
Government budget is restricted and ACS treatments are costly. Decreasing LOS in ACS patients can help to spend the budget more effectively.
