Materials and methods: Serum samples of 60 persons, aged 25-55 years with chronic periodontitis were collected as patients group; samples of serum were obtained from 30 healthy subjects aged 25-55 years as the control group. Interleukin IL-1β, TNF-α, and VDB protein levels were measured by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Results: The levels of Interleukin IL-1β, TNF-α, and VDB protein in serum showed a significant increase in the patient group than the healthy group. On the other hand, VDB protein was not significantly correlated with IL-1β and TNF-α in patients. %U https://jbiochemtech.com/article/evaluation-of-interleukin-il-1-tnf-and-vdb-protein-levels-in-serum-of-patients-with-chronic-periodontitis
