Hormones in Saliva

CRC Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 1986
Since the collection of saliva is noninvasive, nonstressful and usually very convenient there have been many recent studies examining the clinical relevance of measuring various hormones in saliva. It now appears that the measurement of most unconjugated steroids in saliva will provide clinically useful data whereas the measurement of conjugated ...

Rheology of Human Saliva and Saliva Substitutes

1990
Saliva at rest separates in a bulk solution and a protein layer on top. The layer has been characterized ellipsometrically giving its thickness and density. Rheologically the layer and bulk were studied separately with linear and non-linear methods: harmonic shear experiments and flow curves. Thus a rheological framework resulted which was used for the

[Saliva and saliva substitutes].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002
Saliva is a mixture of secretions of both the large salivary glands (glandula sublingualis submandibularis and parotis) and the minor salivary glands of the palate, tongue, lips and cheeks. The rheological flow of the separate glandular salivas differs remarkably. Sublingual saliva is both more viscous and elastic than the other glandular salivas.

Wetting Properties of Human Saliva and Saliva Substitutes

Journal of Dental Research, 1986
Contact angle measurements were employed so that we could study the wetting properties of human whole saliva and saliva substitutes containing mucins or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on human oral mucosa (in vivo) and on ground and polished human enamel (in vitro).

Review: The physiology of saliva and transfer of drugs into saliva

Forensic Science International, 2005
Although saliva or oral fluid "lacks the drama of blood, the sincerity of sweat and the emotional appeal of tears", quoting Mandel in 1990 [I.D. Mandel, The diagnostic uses of saliva, J. Oral Pathol. Med. 19 (1990) 119-125], it is now meeting the demand for inexpensive, non-invasive and easy-to-use diagnostic aids for oral and systemic diseases, drug ...
