Salivary alpha-amylase as a stress biomarker in diseased dogs [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Science, 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 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.

Salivary gland alpha-amylases retain activity in wheat grains damaged by Eurygaster (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) Sunn bugs

Вестник защиты растений
The Sunn pest Eurygaster integriceps and related wheat bugs (Sunn bugs) cause great damage to the wheat crop by injecting hydrolytic enzymes into the grain that liquefy the endosperm during extraintestinal digestion.

Salivary alpha-amylase–biomarker for monitoring type II diabetes

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2021
Background: Diabetes is one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide. People having diabetes are vulnerable to infectious diseases and have been clinically recognized; which may be because of their deregulated immune system.

Interparental aggression and parent–adolescent salivary alpha amylase symmetry [PDF]

Physiology & Behavior, 2010
The present study examined salivary alpha amylase (sAA), a putative marker of adrenergic activity, in family members engaging in family conflict discussions. We examined symmetry among family members' sAA levels at baseline and in response to a conflict discussion.

Protease‐Triggered Chromogenic Release From Peptide‐Modified Calcium Carbonate Microspheres Enables Colorimetric Detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a chromogenic release‐based assay system with protease‐cleavage peptide‐modified calcium carbonate microspheres for colorimetric detection of Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis activity. In response to Arg‐specific gingipain secreted by P. gingivalis, the supernatant becomes colored, enabling colorimetric analysis and providing the monitoring of ...

Effects of methamphetamine on the noradrenergic activity biomarker salivary alpha-amylase [PDF]

Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2013
Methamphetamine (METH) potently activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) by increasing central and peripheral norepinephrine (NE). Salivary α-amylase (sAA) is a biomarker of SNS activation that correlates with plasma NE levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of METH on sAA activity and whether changes in sAA activity were ...

Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and
