Lower activity of salivary alpha-amylase in youths with depression
Stress, 2020 Measurement of basal and stress-induced salivary alpha-amylase activity may help to understand autonomic nervous system disturbance in mental disorders. The potential sympathetic nervous system dysregulation in children and adolescent psychopathologies is mostly unknown.

Effects of filtration and alpha-amylase depletion on salivary biochemical composition measurements.
PLoS ONE, 2023 The effects of filtration (F) and alpha-amylase depletion (AD) were assessed in n = 34 saliva samples. Each saliva sample was split into three aliquots and treated as follows: (1) no treatment; (2) 0.45μm commercial filter; and (3) 0.45μm commercial ...

Salivary Alpha-Amylase Reactivity in Breast Cancer Survivors [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016 The two main components of the stress system are the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axes. While cortisol has been commonly used as a biomarker of HPA functioning, much less attention has been paid to the role of the SAM in this context.

Electrophoretic Detection of Salivary .ALPHA.-Amylase Activity.
The Journal of Nihon University School of Dentistry, 1992 Fresh samples of human whole saliva containing approximately 20-40 micrograms protein were analyzed using SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis systems. More than 20 protein bands were revealed by Coomassie Brilliant Blue R 250 staining. Some of the protein bands were shown to be glycoprotein-positive with PAS (periodic acid-Schiff) reagent.

Salivary alpha amylase–cortisol asymmetry in maltreated youth [PDF]
Hormones and Behavior, 2008 Maltreatment represents a major stressor in the lives of many youth. Given the known effects of stress exposure on subsequent functioning of biological stress response systems, researchers have been interested in the effects of maltreatment on the functioning of these systems.

Evaluation of Salivary and Serum Alpha Amylase Level in Dental Caries of Adolescence
Brazilian Dental Science, 2016 Objective: Some previous studies suggested a significant relationship between alpha- amylase, and caries formation. This study was implemented in order to investigate the interrelation between level of salivary and serum alpha- amylase and dental caries.

Salivary Alpha-Amylase Correlates with Subjective Heat Pain Perception [PDF]
Pain Medicine, 2016 Abstract Objective. Self-reports of pain are important for an adequate therapy. This is a problem with patients and infants who are restricted in providing an accurate verbal estimation of their pain. Reliable, real-time, economical, and non-invasive physiological correlates might contribute to a more comprehensive description of pain.
