Salivary (1)H NMR metabolic profiling of diabetic patients with and without periodontitis: an exploratory pilot study.

Researchers compared saliva metabolites in diabetic patients with and without periodontitis, identifying ten discriminating metabolites with pyrimidine metabolism notably altered in those with both conditions, suggesting potential biomarkers for non-invasive detection.
