              ABSTRAK
              Periodontitis 
                adalah penyakit 
                kronik yang melibatkan kehilangan tulang dan inflamasi pada 
                tisu periodontium. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) dan Tumor 
                Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) merupakan 
                penanda pro-inflamasi 
                yang penting yang terlibat dalam periodontitis. Sebanyak 
                20 ekor tikus 
                Sprague-Dawley dibahagikan kepada 
                empat kumpulan 
                iaitu: Kumpulan kawalan dengan salin normal (CS); 
                kumpulan kawalan 
                dengan madu Gelam 
                3 g/mL (CH); kumpulan ujian periodontitis dengan salin normal (TS); dan 
                kumpulan ujian 
                periodontitis dengan madu 
                Gelam 3 g/mL (TH). Benang bersaiz 
                4/0 diikat pada 
                molar pertama gigi tikus 
                sebelah kiri 
                bagi tujuan rangsangan 
                penyakit periodontitis. Madu Gelam 
                diberi secara 
                paksa oral selama 15 hari. 
                Selepas 
                15 hari, sampel plasma dan 
                tisu dianalisis menggunakan kaedah Elisa dan pewarnaan histologi. 
                Kehilangan 
                tulang alveolar pada 
                kumpulan TS adalah 
                paling tinggi berbanding 
                dengan kumpulan kawalan, CS dan 
                CH 
                namun, tiada 
                perbezaan yang signifikan berbanding dengan kumpulan TH. Berdasarkan 
                ujian imunohistokimia, 
                ekspresi IL-6 dan 
                TNF-α 
                pada tisu 
                periodontium adalah tinggi secara 
                signifikan pada 
                kumpulan TS berbanding dengan kumpulan lain. Namun, tiada perubahan 
                aras IL-6 
                dan TNF-α yang signifikan 
                pada plasma ke 
                semua tikus kajian.

              ABSTRACT
              Periodontitis is a chronic 
                disease which results in alveolar bone loss and inflammation at 
                the periodontal gingival tissue. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α 
                (TNF-α) are the crucial pro-inflammatory 
                markers in periodontitis. Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided 
                into four groups: which was control group (CS); 
                control treated with Gelam honey (3 g/mL) (CH); 
                periodontitis group (TS); and periodontitis treated with Gelam honey (3 g/mL) (TH). 
                The periodontitis was induced by ligating 4/0 suture on the left 
                first molar tooth. After 15 days, the plasma and tissue samples 
                were analysed using Elisa and histological 
                staining. Alveolar bone loss was the highest in the TS group compared 
                to control groups, CS and CH, 
                but there was no significant difference compared to TH group. 
                Immunohistochemistry staining showed positive expression of IL-6 
                and TNF-α in periodontium was significantly higher percentage 
                in TS group compared to TH group which was 49.27% (IL-6) 
                and 31.73% (TNF-α), respectively. However, there was no significant 
                difference in plasma level of IL-6 
                and TNF-α.
