Assessment of saliva and gingival crevicular fluid soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), galectin-1, and TNF-α levels in periodontal health and disease.

Increased levels of GCF suPAR, galectin-1, and saliva suPAR in periodontal disease suggest that these molecules may play a role in the periodontal inflammation. suPAR and galectin-1 may be considered as potential biomarkers in periodontal disease.
