  • Title: [Amino acids in saliva].
    Author: Klinger G, Gruhn K.
    Journal: Zahn Mund Kieferheilkd Zentralbl; 1984; 72(7):651-6. PubMed ID: 6240853.
    Abstract:
    Total amino acids in saliva and free and peptide-bound amino acids from 21 saliva samples were determined. The contents of amino acids was 25 mmol/1; total nitrogen content was 78-80 mmol/1. Amino acids consist of Prolin in 25%. Some patients were examined before and after application of the depot estrogen ethinyl estradiosulfonat, which stimulates the assimilation of protein. After application, amino acids increased and the authors found a shift between the single amino acids. Estrogen medication induced an increase in proteins with the character of collagens. Clinical effects are discussed. (author's modified)
