Gingival crevicular fluid levels of prolactin in periodontitis patients with controlled versus uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. a controlled clinical trial.

Researchers measured prolactin levels in gingival crevicular fluid across healthy people and those with periodontitis, with or without controlled diabetes, before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment. Prolactin levels were highest in uncontrolled diabetics with periodontitis at baseline and significantly decreased following treatment across all periodontitis groups.
