title: [The uptake of oxygen and glucose by the gingiva in diabetes mellitus with various forms of periodontal diseases].
abstract: Gingiva biopsy samples from healthy individuals and from diabetics with different forms of periodontal disease were incubated in the Warburg apparatus for 2 hours. Considerable reduction in oxygen consumption and glucose uptake was found in each type of periodontal disease, the most marked reduction being stated in case of parodontopathia dystrophica. The extent of the metabolic disturbance as well as the appearence of periodontal disease correlated with the duration of diabetes on the one hand with the frequency and severity of diabetic retinopathy on the other hand.
