Group H
Group H: normolipidemic+ periodontally healthy individuals The healthy controls were randomly selected from among individuals referred to the Periodontology Department for either dental treatment or check-up. Periodontal status was assessed by clinical examination and classified according to criteria proposed by the 1999 International World Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Disease and Conditions. hyperlipidemia, periodontitis, gingivitis: GCF samples were collected using periopaper strips. Prior to sample collection, each site was gently air-dried, all supragingival plaque was removed, and the area was carefully isolated to prevent samples from being contaminated by saliva

Group HH: hyperlipidemic + periodontally healthy individuals Hyperlipidemic cut-off values were used according to the laboratory's recommendation: TC\>200mg/dl; TG\>200mg/dl; LDL cholesterol \>130 mg/dl; HDL \<35mg/dl) (29). The diagnosis of the hyperlipidemia had been made at least 3 months before the study, and no distinction was drawn among the hyperlipidemia types. The samples were obtained after a 12-h fasting period from an antecubital vein.

Contrary to oxidant mediators, TAOC provides an extensive overview of the antioxidant status of the individuals and how well these antioxidants are able to protect host cells during periods of oxidative stress. Due to the potential synergistic effects of different antioxidant molecules, the measurement of TAOC can provide a more accurate and extensive assessment of antioxidant status rather than the separate measurement of individual antioxidant molecules
