Effects of rosuvastatin on inducible nitric oxide synthase in rats with hyperlipidaemia and periodontitis

ConclusionAdministration of rosuvastatin reduced gingival iNOS expression in ligature‐induced periodontitis with/without hyperlipidaemia. It also led to significant differences in ABL in rats with periodontitis, except when periodontitis was associated with hyperlipidaemia. These findings could provide an important contribution in further studies to evaluate the role of rosuvastatin as a host modulatory agent in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.
