The influence of diabetes on gingival inflammation was studied through its effect on prolyl and lysyl-hydroxylase activities and on tissue-collagen content. Inflammation induced for 7 days with either endotoxin or antigen-antibody complexes reduced the activity of both enzymes by about 45 per cent, and decreased the concentration of soluble and insoluble collagens. Diabetes alone decreased the enzyme activity by more than 50 per cent but prevented the loss of the soluble and insoluble collagens which occurs during inflammation. The complex interaction of diabetes and inflammation on collagen metabolism in gingival tissue may be explained in part by abnormalities of collagen synthesis; alterations in collagen maturation and degradation, and in leukocyte function, may also occur.
