  • Title: Sarcoidosis with salivary gland involvement: biochemical studies on parotid saliva.
    Author: Beeley JA, Chisholm DM.
    Journal: J Lab Clin Med; 1976 Aug; 88(2):276-81. PubMed ID: 956685.
    Abstract:
    Parotid saliva from a patient suffering from sarcoidosis with salivary gland involvement has been shown to have a decreased level of alpha-amylase but increased levels of albumin and lysozyme. These observations suggest that in addition to impaired gland function, gland damage as a result of inflammation had occurred which permitted increased passage of constituents from serum into the gland secretion.
