Age differences of salivary alpha-amylase levels of basal and acute responses to citric acid stimulation between Chinese children and adults

Age differences of salivary alpha-amylase levels of basal and acute responses to citric acid stimulation between Chinese children and adults

It remains unclear how salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) levels respond to mechanical stimuli in different age groups. In addition, the role played by the sAA gene (AMY1) copy number and protein expression (glycosylated and non-glycosylated) in sAA activity has also been rarely reported. In this study, w...
