To much production of oxidants results into oxidative damage to cells and matrix molecules in the gingival tissues, like lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage, aggravating the severity and duration of the inflammatory response (Chapple and Matthews, 2000)
CD36 binding activates prosurvival pathways including PI-3K/AKT1, reduces reactive oxygen species spillover, enhances antioxidant defences, reduces inflammation, and confers anti-fibrotic effects via PPAR upregulation and TGF- downregulation
However, a definitive conclusion on the actual role of IGF-1 in the coordinated maintenance of normal musculoskeletal function has been elusive as most of these promoters have been found to also be active to some degree in muscle
