Objective: In other studies, we have found deviant functions in peripheral neutrophils in periodontitis. The aim here was to study (1) the release of cytokines, IL-8 and TNFalpha, from neutrophils in 15 treated periodontitis patients and pair-matched controls as well as (2) the effects of cigarette smoking.Material and methods: Cytokines released in the incubation medium from unstimulated and Fcgamma-R-stimulated neutrophils and some acute-phase reactants were measured with ELISA.Results: Non-smoking patients had trends for lower TNFalpha release compared to non-smoking controls, while corresponding trends were rather similar for Il-8. Smoking had a moderate but inconsistent effect on the release of both cytokines. However, in patients, the ratio between stimulated/un-stimulated release of Il-8 was significantly lowered by smoking (p
