Clinical correlation of salivary alpha-amylase levels with pain intensity in patients undergoing emergency endodontic treatment

BMC Oral Health, 2023
Background Pain is usually subjective and thus it is challenging to describe its characteristics such as nature, intensity, and origin. Non-invasive methods such as assessing salivary alpha-amylase (SAA) may aid the practitioner to evaluate the pain ...

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 ...

Characterization of salivary alpha-amylase binding to Streptococcus sanguis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1989
The purpose of this study was to identify the major salivary components which interact with oral bacteria and to determine the mechanism(s) responsible for their binding to the bacterial surface. Strains of Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus mutans, and Actinomyces viscosus were incubated for 2 h in freshly collected human ...

Salivary Alpha-Amylase as a Biomarker of Stress in Behavioral Medicine [PDF]

International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 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 ...

In silico and in vitro analysis reveal multi-target anti-hyperglycaemic properties of gedunin, a limonoid from neem (Azadirachta indica)

Clinical Phytoscience, 2020
Background Insulin secretion and insulin related pathways have been the prime targets in the treatment of diabetes for a long time. However, recently a lot of attention is being directed towards addressing hyperglycaemia as the main perpetrator of the ...

Alpha-amylase 1A copy number variants and the association with memory performance and Alzheimer’s dementia

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2020
Background Previous studies have shown that copy number variation (CNV) in the alpha (α)-amylase gene (AMY1A) is associated with body mass index, insulin resistance, and blood glucose levels, factors also shown to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s ...

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.

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.
