Salivary metabolomics in the family environment: A large-scale study investigating oral metabolomes in children and their parental caregivers
Human metabolism is complex and dynamic, and is impacted by genetics, diet, health, and countless inputs from the environment. Beyond the genetics shared by family members, cohabitation leads to shared microbial and environmental exposures. Furthermore, metabolism is affected by factors such as…
Association of salivary metals with ADHD
Exposure to toxic heavy metals has been associated with the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, fewer studies have examined the associations between abnormal levels of……
Service dog placement with US military veterans with PTSD could help boost their morning salivary cortisol response
The goal of this study was to identify how service dogs may impact stress physiology among veterans with……
Biomarkers for Huntington’s Disease- Improving Clinical Outcomes
Fluid biomarkers have traditionally been measured in cerebral spinal fluid and blood and the identification of markers in these biofluids has led to critical advances in…
Salivary Estradiol and Binge Eating Risk in Females
Estrogen moderation of genetic influences on eating disorder symptoms during gonadarche in girls: Specific effects on binge eating Rolan, E et al. (2023) Psychoneuroendocrinology ABSTRACT: The heritability of eating disorder (ED) symptoms increases dramatically across gonadarche in girls. Past studies suggest these developmental differences could be due to pubertal activation of estrogen, but findings have […]
Salivary Uric Acid Reactivity Linked to Cardiovascular and Metabolic Risk in Black and Latinx Populations
Black and Latinx Americans are at disproportionate risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic syndrome. A well-documented pathway to these adverse health outcomes is…
Salivary Cortisol Responses to Daily Stressors Based on Early Life Adversity
Studies examining the impact of early adversity on physiological responsivity to environmental challenges in later life yield a complex pattern of findings and ambiguity regarding the direction of effect, with some studies reporting heightened…
Cortisol to assess correlation between stress and popularity in Hadza men
In recent years there has been much research regarding the extent to which social status is related to long-term indices of health. The majority of studies looking at the interplay between social status and health have been conducted in…
Analysis of Salivary Microbiome in Caregiver-Child Dyads to explore the effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure on Oral and Systemic Health
Human oral microbial communities are diverse, with implications for oral and systemic health. Oral microbial communities change over time; thus, it is important to understand how healthy versus …
Gray Matter Volume Reduction and Raised Salivary Testosterone to Cortisol Ratio Related to Blast-Induced Neurotrauma
Blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT) frequently occurs during military training and deployment and has been linked to long-term neuropsychological and neurocognitive changes, and changes in brain…
New Funding Opportunities on Salivary Components for Oral Health Released by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
These funding opportunities encourage interdisciplinary research that harnesses the functional components of saliva towards…
Salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol association with Traumatic Brain Injury adjustment
Traumatic injury is linked increasingly to alterations in both stress response systems and psychological health. We investigated reactivity of salivary analytes of…
Environmental tobacco smoke exposure is associated with increased levels of metals in children’s saliva
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been associated with detectable levels of cotinine (a nicotine metabolite) in children’s saliva. However, tobacco…
Salivary Cortisol Awakening Response in Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians
Amassing evidence suggests that post-awakening salivary cortisol rhythms (changes in cortisol throughout the day) may indicate health status. We previously established summary parameters for…
Salivary Cortisol and Salivary Alpha-Amylase measured to assess racial discrimination and the stress response
Perceived racial discrimination has been associated with the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activities-two major…
