Salivary Alpha-Amylase as a Biomarker of Stress in Behavioral Medicine. [PDF]
Int J Behav Med, 2020 AbstractIn recent years, research in behavioral medicine has become increasingly focused on understanding how chronic and acute exposure to stress impacts health outcomes. During stress, the body’s physiological stress systems are activated. These systems closely interact with the immune system and are, thus, importantly implicated in the onset and ...

Salivary alpha-amylase as a stress biomarker in diseased dogs. [PDF]
J Vet Sci, 2019 Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) is a stress biomarker in human diseases, but there are no reports of sAA measurements in diseased dogs. This study measured the sAA and serum alpha-amylase (AA) levels in 16 healthy dogs and 31 diseased dogs using a kinetic enzyme assay to assess the stress status.

Salivary Alpha-Amylase Activity and Salivary Flow Rate in Young Adults [PDF]
The Open Dentistry Journal, 2013 The secretion of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) is more associated with psychoneuroendocrinological response to stress than with the flow rate and age. The aim of this cross sectional study is to build an explanatory model based on patterns of relationship between age 20-39 in resting and stimulated saliva under no stressful condition in healthy ...
