Salivary Reduction of Dietary Nitrate
… 25% of dietary NO3- is recovered by the salivary glands and concentrated up to 20-fold in saliva. Humans possess symbiotic NO3- reductase activity from the anaerobic bacteria (Actinomyces and Veillonella) species found in the tongue’s cleft. Preliminary genomic analyses of these species …

Functional Restoration of Irradiated Salivary Glands Through Modulation of aPKCζ and Nuclear Yap in Salivary Progenitors
… these individuals receive radiation therapy, and salivary hypofunction and xerostomia occur in 60-85% of these patients due to irreversible damage to the salivary glands. Current preventative and palliative care fail to improve quality of life, accentuating the need for regenerative therapies. …

A study of bovine salivary proteins
… genetics approach to the study of the bovine salivary proteins was designed to: (a) Test the hypothesis that the salivary proteins, other than mucoprotein, might be related to, or involved in determining an animal’s susceptibility to bloat. (b) Gain some knowledge on the nature of the proteins …

Mammary analog secretory carsinoma of salivary glands
Sylkirauhasmuutoksista 80% on hyvänlaatuisia ja 20% pahanlaatuisia. Suomessa diagnosoidaan vuodessa noin 55 malignia sylkirauhastuumoria. Eroa esiintyvyydessä sukupuolten välillä ei ole ja keskimääräinen sairastumisikä on 60-vuotta. Vaikka itse sylkirauhasen syöpä on verrattaen harvinainen sairaus, …

Identifying salivary biomarkers associated with prolonged sitting
The effect of prolonged sitting on salivary biomarker concentrations is relatively unexplored. The purpose of this work was to identify novel biomarkers, detectable in the saliva in response to prolonged and interrupted bouts of sitting. Participants completed three sessions. The first session …

Proteomic Investigation of Salivary Biomarkers in Periodontal Diseases
… day of the week and storage conditions on the salivary concentration of human neutrophil peptide 1-3 (HNP 1-3), cathelicidin LL-37 and protein S100A8 were tested. Copy number variation for HNP 1-3 gene, DEFA1A3 was tested in an independent cohort and the data analysed for association with …

Role of salivary films in assessing astringent compounds
… to the aggregation and precipitation of salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), yet this mechanism doesn’t occur with all astringent molecules. It also doesn’t consider the impact of astringents directly on lubricating <br/>properties of the salivary film and salivary proteins bound to the …

Measurement and validation of the nature of salivary adiponectin
… easy to obtain biological fluid, measurements of salivary hormonal changes are preferred in diagnoses and treatments. Therefore, it was of interest to examine the nature of salivary Ad. While there have been two publications in the literature reporting presence of Ad in human saliva, the nature of …

Diabetes-related ultrastructural and immunohistochemical changes in human salivary gland parenchyma and a study on a native scaffold obtained from salivary gland stroma
… medications, and radiation therapy often affect salivary gland morphology and functionality, giving rise to changes in quantity and composition of saliva and to numerous oral complications that severely compromise the patient’s life quality. The aim of this thesis, articulated into two sections, …

Significance of Salivary Gland Radioiodine Retention on Post-ablation 131I Scintigraphy as a Predictor of Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
… scintigraphy could predict functional changes in salivary glands after radioiodine therapy. METHODS: We evaluated 90 patients who received initial high-dose (≥3.7 GBq) radioiodine therapy after totalthyroidectomy.Allpatients underwent diagnostic (DWS) and post-ablation (TWS) 131I whole-body …

Turning Tears into Sweets: CandyCollect for Pediatric Salivary Pathogen Sampling
… open microfluidic tool for collecting salivary pathogens—in an initial human subject study. This remote, at-home study demonstrated the CandyCollect device's ability to effectively capture commensal salivary bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus, from …

The structure and function of a bovine salivary protein - BSP30b
The Bovine Salivary Protein 30b (BSP30b) is a member of the palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone (PLUNC) family which includes human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and lipopolysaccaride binding protein (LBP). BSP30b is predominantly found in bovine saliva but its function is …

Response of salivary IL-8 to prolonged and interrupted sitting
… of this work was to determine the reliability of salivary IL-8 (CXCL8) and the response of IL-8 to prolonged and interrupted sitting. Participants completed two sessions in random order: prolonged sitting (4 hours of sitting) and interrupted sitting (prolonged sitting interrupted every 30 minutes …

Salivary VIP concentrations are elevated in humans after acute stress
… purpose of this research was to evaluate two salivary neuropeptides in the context of the stress response. The research was focused first and foremost on evaluating the usefulness of salivary Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and salivary vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) as stress indicators. Secondly, …

The role of Wnt signalling during embryonic salivary gland development
… structure that is a characteristic of the salivary glands and other organs including the lungs, kidneys and mammary glands. Branching morphogenesis is the mechanism by which a single epithelial bud undergoes repetitive cycles of bifurcation in order to maximise its surface area within a …

Salivary Profiling Reveals Distinct Immune Activity in Periodontitis and Peri-Implantitis
… relatively few studies have directly compared salivary immune profiles between periodontal and peri-implant diseases. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether peri-implantitis and periodontitis demonstrate distinct salivary immune-cell signatures and to explore how these patterns relate …
