In a similar manner, although the CP group had a 1.4-fold higher total protein content than the healthy group, that difference did not reach significance (P > 0.05) The mean ± SEM values were in the healthy group: 303.7 ± 105.30 mg/mL, gingivitis group: 370.26 ± 263.97 mg/mL, and CP group: 448 ± 93.18) (Fig. 2b). This evidence concerns the gene CP and gingivitis.
