Stressful life events are associated with low secretion rates of immunoglobulin A in saliva in the middle aged and elderly [PDF]
, 2006 Whether chronic stress experience is related to down-regulation of secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) was tested in two substantial cohorts, one middle-aged (N = 640) and one elderly (N = 582), comprising similar numbers of men (N = 556) and women (N ...

Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva: Implications for late-stage diagnosis and infectious duration.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Saliva has been a COVID-19 diagnostic specimen of interest due to its simple collection, scalability, and yield. Yet COVID-19 testing and estimates of the infectious period remain largely based on nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs.

Erosion protection conferred by whole human saliva, dialysed saliva, and artificial saliva [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractDuring dental erosion, tooth minerals are dissolved, leading to a softening of the surface and consequently to irreversible surface loss. Components from human saliva form a pellicle on the tooth surface, providing some protection against erosion.

Stability of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Nonsupplemented Saliva
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 The expense of saliva collection devices designed to stabilize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA is prohibitive to mass testing. However, virus RNA in nonsupplemented saliva is stable for extended periods and at elevated temperatures ...
