HE SEX RELATED DEPENDENCEOF THE GINGIVAL TISSUES RESPONSES ON INTERMITTENT HYPOXIA IN IMMATURE RATS

Abstract

This study showed that in immature rats there are differences in lipids peroxidation intensity and antioxidant aettvire : n the gingival tissues between healthy intact male and female rats. Inmale rats lipids peroxidation intensity is significant}- lower than in female and the gingival antioxidant capacity in female rats is higher than in male rats. Hypoharick intermittent hypoxia equal the altitude 4000 meters (2 hours per dav for 14 daysi in immature female rats decreases lipids peroxidation intensity and increases antioxidant capacities in gingiva! tissues: in immature male rats hypoxia has no effect on lipids peroxidation, and decreases antioxidant activity compared with control (normnxiai group. In the present study, there was detected the sex related dependence of the gingival tissues responses (lipids peroxidation intensity and antioxidant activityI on intermitted hipobarick hypoxia in immature rats.
