... for the study. Periodontal disease status was characterized using the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) system. Total salivary antioxidant capacity and salivary ascorbate, urate and albumin were determined in a sample of whole unstimulated saliva. Protein carbonyl concentrations were...

...) of this response is unclear. Using two indirect measures of aldosterone secretion (in urine and saliva), we have tried to relate changes in excretion and concentration of this hormone to renal sodium excretion during the abrupt transition from a normal (approximately 150 mmol/day) or high (260 mmol/day) to a low...

...Robert J. Mairs; Josie A. Beeley 1. Isoelectric focusing of parotid saliva from 33 patients with rheumatoid arthritis but without clinical evidence of salivary gland involvement revealed multiple abnormal proteins of pI 3.95–4.25 in all cases, whereas only two out of 16 samples from normal healthy...

...K. E. L. McColl; B. Whiting; M. R. Moore; A. Goldberg 1. The concentrations of ethanol in blood, mixed saliva obtained before and after rinsing and drying the mouth and parotid saliva have been monitored in 12 healthy subjects after the ingestion of alcohol. 2. A highly significant linear...

...K. D. Bhoola; R. W. Matthews; Fiona Roberts 1. The values for kallikrein, amylase and protein were determined in samples of saliva obtained from 220 girls aged 14–18 years. 2. The concentrations of protein and amylase and kallikrein activities (per ml of saliva) were considerably more variable...

...R. Garcia; R. Boucher; J. Gutkowska; K. Kondo; S. Demassieux; J. Genest 1. The tonin concentration of saliva and submaxillary glands was studied in one-clip hypertensive rats with or without the contralateral kidney. 2. Salivary tonin concentration was elevated in one-kidney hypertensive rats...

...J. Kopstein; O. M. Wrong 1. Saliva obtained from the parotid duct of normal and uraemic subjects had an average urea concentration of 86% of the plasma concentration whereas in mixed saliva obtained from the mouth the urea concentration was only 31% of the plasma concentration. Ammonia...
