The effects of cigarette exposure on rat salivary proteins and salivary glands

Oral Diseases, 2009
Objective:  Passive smoking is the involuntary inhalation of cigarette smoke (CS) and has an adverse impact on oral health. We examined the effect of CS exposure on saliva and salivary glands (SGs).Methods:  Cigarette smoke‐exposed rats were intermittently housed in an animal chamber with whole‐body exposure to CS until killed.

Salivary Total Protein and Experimental Coriolis Sickness

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1993
Symptomatic reporting has been used in quantifying the severity of motion sickness including Coriolis sickness. This study was designed to objectively examine if the dynamic changes of salivary protein concentration relate to the severity of Coriolis sickness.

Steroid Binding by Mouse Salivary Proteins

Biochemical Genetics, 1998
The goals of this study were to determine the steroid-binding specificity of the mouse salivary androgen-binding protein (ABP) family and to ascertain whether there might be other proteins in mouse saliva capable of binding steroids. The optimal conditions for testosterone binding by mouse salivary proteins were determined using a small-scale ...

Distribution of S-100b protein in normal salivary glands and salivary gland tumors

Virchows Archiv A Pathological Anatomy and Histopathology, 1983
Immunohistochemical studies were performed for the presence of S-100b protein in non-neoplastic and neoplastic salivary gland tissues by the peroxidase anti-peroxidase (PAP) method. Some cases of pleomorphic adenoma were investigated by immuno-electron microscopy.

New variants of Ps salivary polymorphic proteins

Annals of Human Genetics, 1988
SummaryElectrophoretic analysis of the Ps protein demonstrated the existence of phenotypes additional to those described by Azen & Denniston (1980). A hypothesis that the polymorphism of the Ps protein is determined by five expressed and one unexpressed alleles was supported by family studies. The gene frequencies in a Japanese population were Ps1F=

Interaction of Copper and Human Salivary Proteins

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2009
Interaction of taste molecules with saliva is the first step in the flavor perception process. Saliva is assumed to influence copper-induced sensation by controlling the copper solubility or causing astringency via binding of proteins with copper. This study was performed to identify the nature of copper-protein interactions in relation to the sensory ...

Anaplasma phagocytophilum subverts tick salivary gland proteins

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a bacterium that is transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks, in which it resides in salivary glands. Ticks inoculate the pathogen into hosts together with an array of salivary molecules that reduce host anti-tick inflammation. Sukumaran et al. recently showed that A. phagocytophilum uses a tick salivary protein, Salp16, to enhance

Extraoral Functions of Salivary Proteins

Journal of Oral Biosciences, 2007
Abstract Two groups of salivary proteins, basic Proline-rich Proteins (PRPs) and Histatins (Hsts) effectively interact with food tannins and form insoluble complexes that are stable under conditions similar to those in vivo . The proteins diminish transport of tannin across intestinal cells probably due to the formation of insoluble tannin-protein ...

Salivary Protein Polymorphisms in Caries-resistant Adults

Journal of Dental Research, 1982
Several salivary proteins exhibit genetic polymorphism, and this study examined the distributions of the proline-rich (Pr), parotid acidic (Pa), and double-band (Db) salivary protein phenotypes in caries-resistant and caries-susceptible adults, and in first-degree relatives of the caries-resistant patients.

Regulation of Parotid Salivary Proteins by Glucocorticoids

Journal of Dental Research, 1987
Previous studies have indicated that adrenal-intact rats treated for one week with pharmacological doses of the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, show a significant reduction in the proportion of proline-rich proteins and an increase in the proportion of amylase in rat parotid saliva (Johnson et al., 1987). In order to understand more fully the
