Salivary Cortisol
Cortisol (hydrocortisone, Compound F) is the major glucocorticosteroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is actively involved in the regulation of calcium absorption, blood pressure maintenance, anti-inflammatory function, gluconeogenesis,…
Salivary SARS-CoV-2 (N) IgG
There is an urgent need to better understand COVID-19 antibody levels and duration of protective immunity for public health considerations. Coronavirus antibody testing in saliva has shown utility as a…
Salivary DHEA-S
…and androgenic compounds. This process allows androgens and estrogens to be delivered to the appropriate tissues without leakage of significant amounts into the circulation. (5,6) DHEA-S is also synthesized directly…
Salivary IgG
…all four antibody subclasses. In saliva, IgG diffuses from serum most commonly through gingival crevices but can also be produced locally. IgG levels in saliva are generally in the microgram…
Salivary C-Reactive Protein
…including phosphocholine, a common constituent of polysaccharide coatings of bacterial pathogens and mammalian cell membranes. This allows CRP to function as an opsonin, facilitating phagocytosis of pathogens and dead or…
Salivary Estrone
Estrone (3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-17-one; E1) is one of the three main estrogenic steroid hormones produced in humans. Circulating estrone levels are relatively high at birth in both males and females, decrease postnatally,…
Salivary Interleukin-8
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), also known as neutrophil chemotactic factor, belongs to the CXC chemokine family and mainly serves as an immune mediator of neutrophil-dependent acute inflammation (2). IL-8 is produced in…
Salivary Interleukin-1 Beta
…by a number of different cell types, including macrophages, monocytes, fibroblasts, and dendritic cells. (1,2,3) IL-1β is an example of a pro-inflammatory cytokine, since it is involved in the body’s…
Salivary Interleukin-6
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of a family of biologically active small protein molecules known as cytokines. It is released by a variety of tissues, including activated leukocytes, adipocytes, and endothelial…
Salivary Progesterone
…males, progesterone is thought to play some role in testicular physiology. (7) In addition to its role as a sex hormone, progesterone also serves as a precursor compound for many…
Salivary SIgA
Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is a subclass of Immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antibody that plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. SIgA is the main immunoglobulin found in mucous secretions…
Salivary Cotinine
When nicotine from tobacco smoke is taken into the lungs and enters the bloodstream, the principle metabolite produced in the liver is cotinine. Cotinine diffuses easily from blood into saliva,…
