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 …

Exploring Metallic Flavor Perception: Analysis of Human Salivary Proteins and the Use of the Iron-Binding Protein Lactoferrin in Reducing Metallic Off-Flavors
… for three of the TI parameters. Alterations in salivary components were studied in saliva collected (n=8; 5 female, age 40-70) after sipping a lactoferrin solution (1?M) followed with a ferrous sulfate sample (10 mg/ml) to stimulate metallic flavor, as compared to unstimulated whole saliva. …

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 …

The role of mosquito saliva on host immune response and pathogenesis of West Nile virus\r\n
… that during early arbovirus infection mosquito salivary proteins down-modulates specific antiviral cytokines while enhancing production of TH2 and immunosuppressive cytokines. To understand the source of these shifts in immune signalling, the in vitro response of DCs and macrophages was …

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw
… using proteomic analysis we identified 200 salivary proteins that were differentially expressed in BRONJ subjects. A majority of the differentially expressed proteins were predicted to have a role in dermatological diseases, genetic disorders, immunological diseases, and inflammatory …

Discovery and Molecular Characterization of Selenoprotein M in the Salivary Glands of <i>Amblyomma maculatum</i>, the Gulf Coast Tick
… called "gotch ear." The tick's multifunctional salivary glands are vital to their biological success and likely also play a critical role in transmission of disease; tick saliva contains a broad array of secretory products that facilitate prolonged tick attachment and feeding; disrupting tick …

Formation of Copper-Salivary Component Complexes and Its Effect on Sensory Perception
… to influence copper sensations via binding of salivary electrolytes or proteins with copper. The interaction between salivary components and copper is thought to influence sensory perception by affecting volatility of aroma compounds, de-lubricating salivary proteins, and by controlling …

La percezione del gusto amaro nell’uomo: la sensibilità gustativa al 6-n-propiltiouracile (PROP) come marker della variabilità individuale con implicazioni fisiologico-nutrizionali
… gene (TAS2R38) and with differences in the salivary proteins involved in taste function. Among them, the enzyme Zn dependent gustin, a trophic factor of taste buds. We investigated the possible association of PROP taste phenotype with TAS2R38 haplotypes, gustin gene polymorphism rs2274333 …

Sensitivity to chemical stimuli plays a fundamental role in the food preferences. Examples in the evolutionary scale: 1. Role of the walking leg chemoreceptors in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus Clarkii 2. PROP bitter taste sensitivity and its nutritional implications in Humans
… between PROP bitter taste responsiveness and salivary proteins by using HPLC-ESI-MS on saliva sample before and after PROP taste stimulation. 2) We evaluated the role of proteins and free amino acids in modulating bitter taste responsiveness. Subjects rated PROP bitterness after …

Salivary proteome investigation for Autoimmune Liver Diseases classification and biomarker discovery
… affected qualitatively and quantitatively the salivary proteome. The present thesis reports the analysis of the salivary proteome from patients affected by AIH and PBC in comparison with healthy controls (HCs) using an integrated top-down/bottom-up proteomic pipeline with the purpose of …

The Interaction of Iron with Proteins and Sugars in Biological Fluids and Beverages
… sweeteners, and the interaction between iron and proteins in bovine milk and human saliva. Based on pairwise-ranking sensory test, we have found that sweetness of sweeteners was varied with different concentrations of minerals in water and with different types of sweeteners. Sweet-metallic taste …

An integrated top-down and bottom-up proteomic platform to reveal potential salivary biomarkers of the rare disorders SAPHO syndrome, Wilson’s disease and Hereditary angioedema
… extremely difficult. In this study, the salivary proteome and peptidome of subjects affected by these pathologies has been investigated using mass spectrometry, through an integrated top-down and bottom-up platform, and compared with groups of healthy controls, with the aim to assess …

Examination of Placenta and Child Saliva Samples Associated with Childhood Allergy Development
… The aim of this PhD thesis was to identify proteins associated with childhood allergy using two sources of biological tissue: placental tissue and child saliva. The long term objectives were to identify proteins that could be measures of allergic risk in placenta and saliva, develop an assay …

Untersuchungen zu tanninbindenden Speichelproteinen des Rehs und anderer Wiederkäuer
Am Beispiel der Wiederkäuer wurde unter Zuhilfenahme von biochemischen und molekularbiologischen Methoden die Adaptation von Pflanzenfressern (Herbivoren) an pflanzliche Sekundärmetabolite wie z.B. Tannine untersucht. Tannine können in nicht an ihren Verzehr adaptierten Spezies durch ihr …

Exploring the chemical properties of polyphenols in cold-hardy grape cultivars
… adjust the solid-to-juice ratio, and remove proteins that bind to tannins during fermentation and subsequent maceration, respectively. Individually, these techniques showed limited effectiveness in extracting condensed tannins. However, the combined application of ACE with macerating enzymes …
