Host lifestyle affects human microbiota on daily timescales (2014, background): “5 L of saliva daily, making it feasible that oral microbiota are regularly introduced into the digestive tract [38].”
Human salivary alpha-amylase reactivity in a psychosocial stress paradigm. (2005, background): “Saliva plays a role in speech and swallowing through its lubricating action, in tasting through its solving action, and in initial enzymatic digestion through one of its major constituents, alpha-amylase (Humphrey and Williamson, 2001).”
Salivary alpha-amylase as a non-invasive biomarker for the sympathetic nervous system: current state of research. (2009, background): “Under stimulation, the contributions of each gland change, with the parotid contributing more than 50% of total salivary secretions (Sreebny, 2000; Humphrey and Williamson, 2001).”
Enzyme Biosensors for Biomedical Applications: Strategies for Safeguarding Analytical Performances in Biological Fluids (2016, background): “Saliva also contains nitrogenous compounds, such as urea and ammonia, as well as immunoglobulins, proteins, enzymes and mucins [142].”
Saliva composition and functions: a comprehensive review. (2008, background): “5L.(4) The SF index is a parameter allowing stimulated and unstimulated saliva flow to be classified as normal, low, or very low (hyposalivation).”
Food oral processing - a review. (2009, neutral): “Major salivary glands contribute 90% of saliva production, with the remaining 10% coming from minor glands (see Table 2) (Humphrey & Williamson, 2001).”
