Abstract
Fifty rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were divided into five groups: Two groups were subjected to orthodontic tooth movement by fitting bands and springs on their upper incisors; their gingival lipid patterns were studied 5 or 9 days later. Three groups served as controls, and were studied on day l, 5 and 9. The gingival tissue was taken from the buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal aspects of the incisors. This tissue was examined to compare the effects of orthodontic tooth movement on the neutral lipids (mono and diglycerides, cholesterol, free fatty acids, triglycerides, methyl esters, and cholesterol esters) and the polar lipids (lysophosphatidyl choline, sphingomyelin, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl inositol and serine, phosphatidy ethanolamine, and phosphatidic acid). These lipids were expressed in terms of both total gingival tissue and total proteins.
