Flavour & saliva interaction – a brief overview
2015
Saliva is a highly complex body fluid composed of many proteins, peptides, small organic molecules and ions. Saliva is secreted at rest and during eating by major and minor salivary glands. Resting saliva is continuously bathing our oral cavity and as such stimulates our taste receptors playing thus a role in taste sensitivity against some active taste substances. Beside, during eating, foods are chewed and a significant level of stimulated saliva is rapidly incorporated in the bolus. This in-mouth phenomena impact on flavor release and thus perception through saliva-food physical interactions but also through the action of biological compounds (enzymes mainly) against the food matrix. Sali…
THE CHAPERONE SYSTEM IN SALIVARY GLAND DEVELOPMENT
2023
The chaperone system (CS) canonical function is to maintain protein homeostasis. Proper folding of nascent peptides is crucial in developing tissue. The chief components of the CS are 95th National Congress of the Italian Society for Experimental Biology | Trieste, Italy, 12-15 April 2023Non-commercial use only the molecular chaperones, which play key roles in development as indicated by their presence in embryonic tissue as early as at two-cell stage. However, scarce information on the CS in developing tissues is available, especially at advanced stages of embryogenesis and its role is not fully understood. In our previous study, we reported the presence of molecular chaperones in the duct…

Efecto del clorhidrato de pilocarpina como estimulante de la producción salival en pacientes sometidos a radioterapia de cabeza y cuello
2004
Objetivo: Estudiar los efectos del clorhidrato de pilocarpina sobre la producción salival total en pacientes mexicanos con hiposalivación secundaria a radioterapia de la región de cabeza y cuello. Diseño del estudio: Previo consentimiento informado, 20 pacientes con hiposalivación secundaria a radioterapia de la región de cabeza y cuello (> 40 Gy) fueron evaluados mediante el Test de Saliva Global (TSG) antes, durante y al final de 10 semanas de tratamiento con clorhidrato de pilocarpina (5 mg 3 veces al día). La sintomatología relacionada a la hiposalivación fue evaluada mediante un cuestionario con escala ordinal de 0 a 10. La cantidad de saliva producida al final del tratamiento se compa…
