Determination of Pancreatic and Salivary Amylase By Enzyme Immunoassay and Their Prevalence in Hyperamylasemic Patients
<p>Currently, amylase determinations are nonspecific for the organ source and are based entirely on the enzymatic properties of amylase to produce a measurable product or byproduct. The determination of pancreatic amylase is important in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Most commercially …

The Effects of Methotrexate on Rat Parotid and Submandibular Glands and Their Secretions (Antineoplastic, Protein, Salivary, Amylase Catecholamines)
Experimental animals were injected intraperitoneally with methotrexate (15 mg/kg) for 3 days. Parotid and submandibular main ducts were cannulated and saliva flow was evoked by either intravenous infusion of acetylcholine (10 to 100 (mu)g/min) or an intravenous injection of bethanechol (100 …

Proteinaceous inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidase from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): biochemical characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Sardinian cultivars
… bioactive compounds. Among these proteinaceous α-amylase inhibitors (α-AIs) and α-glucosidase inhibitor could play an important role in weight loss and control of glycemic index above all in overweight and diabetic subjects. In this study 10 poorly studied Italian P. vulgaris cultivars were …

Effects of Stress, Coping Style, and Confidence on Basic Combat Training Performance, Discipline, and Attrition
… combat training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Salivary amylase testing was used as an objective measure of physiological stress, and the Multiple Affects Adjective CheckList Revised (MACCL-R) was use as a subjective measure of perceived stress. It was hypothesized that enlistees with higher …

The influence of the physical state and habitual mastication on the glycaemic response and satiety
… but not spaghetti. The thesis also showed that salivary - amylase could potentially be a significant contributor to the GR, at least in those who spend a longer time masticating. The final study in the thesis showed further that the particle size of ingested food correlated inversely with the …

Genetic Determinants of Obesity in Relation to Diet, Weight Gain and Mortality
… In paper III, a copy number variant (CNV) in the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) did not associate with obesity traits neither in men nor in women (P>0.05 for all). However, upon stratification by dietary starch intake, BMI decreased with increasing AMY1 CNV in low starch intake group (P=0.035) and …
