Oxidative actions of hydrogen peroxide in human gingival and oral periosteal fibroblasts: Responses to glutathione and nicotine, relevant to healing in a redox environment

Background: This study aims to validate pro-oxidant actions of nicotine (N), using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the antioxidant glutathione (G) in an in vitro model of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and human oral periosteal fibroblasts (HPF); radiolabelled androgens are used as biomarkers of redo...
