Recent studies have focused on salivary biomarkers to better understand their shared inflammatory mechanisms. This study aimed to assess salivary levels of asprosin, interleukin (IL) -39, IL-40, and IL-1\u03b2 in patients with and without periodontitis and\/or diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty-eight participants were classified into four groups based on periodontal and diabetic status.
