Is Salivary Alpha Amylase Useful as a Biomarker of Stress in Oral Diseases?
نویسنده
چکیده
Although Salivary Alpha Amylase (SAA) has been investigated during past thirty years as a biomarker of stress, still remains certain doubt regarding its utility. Additionally, there has been a lot of debate whether SAA reflects sympathetic activity solely, however, recent data suggested that this is unlikely due to the parasympathetic activity which innervates salivary glands whose product is SAA [1].

Introduction: Tension-type headache is the most common type of headache across the world. Saliva as a non-invasive medium is used to detect a wide range of diseases. Salivary Alpha-Amylase (SAA) levels has been suggested as a potential indirect marker for detecting Sympathoadrenal Medullary (SAM) activity, which is activated by pain. Significant correlation was found between SAA levels and pain...
