On the fifth day ligatures were tied around the molars of half of the rats to induce periodontitis. After 7days gingival tissue was removed and assayed for inflammatory markers. Finally, hemi-mandibles were extracted to evaluate bone loss by histomorphometrical techniques.Results: The experimental periodontitis increased significantly the mRNA expression (p
