In animal experiments, the mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in rats with simple periodontitis was 2.63 times, 2.79 times, and 4.18 times higher than those in healthy rats, and the mRNA expression of these cytokines in rats with diabetes increased by 1.78 times, 1.58 times, and 3.04 times, respectively. Here, IL1B is linked to periodontitis.
