Influence of gender and stress on the volatile sulfur compounds and stress biomarkers production

Abstract

Thus, the results showed that VRSCWT induced acute stress, which increased VSC production, and these effects were shown to be influenced by the gender.

Changes in salivary microbiota increase volatile sulfur compounds production in healthy male subjects with academic-related chronic stress

“…In previous work by our group, it was found that anxiogenic experimental situations [13, 14] and academic exams [15] resulted in increased VSCs production in healthy undergraduate students. Other studies have also reported that academic stress impaired oral health, with academic exams being implicated in plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation [34, 38].…”

“…It has been shown that anxiogenic experimental situations [13, 14] and academic examinations [15] can lead to increased oral H 2 S production in healthy subjects, demonstrating a positive influence of anxiety and psychological stress on oral VSCs emanation. In these cases, the VSCs production may not necessarily be considered halitosis, but when associated with other factors, such as poor oral hygiene or periodontal diseases, increased production of these compounds may cause halitosis.…”

Salivary Biomarkers in Psychological Stress Diagnosis

“…Particularly, Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) (dominant antibody in saliva) has also been reported to be a biomarker of stress in several studies and has been shown to be increased under mental stress conditions [4,7,11].…”

“…Cortisol, Immunoglo bulin A, Heart rate, Systolic blood pressure Job [24] To investigate the influence of chewing time on salivary stress markers Cortisol, Alphaamylase Behaviors (chewing) [11] to evaluate the influence of stress and gender on the production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) and salivary biomarkers.…”

“…Chronic activation of the stress-response can increase the risk of fatigue, depression, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, ulcers, cognitive decline, cancer, immune function, atopic dermatitis, oral diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, psychological diseases [1]. Stress can alter oral homeostasis and is associated with gingivitis, periodontal diseases; development of halitosis too [11]. Stress has been associated with emotional eating behavior and symptoms of atopic dermatitis and other skin pathologies (wound healing, burns) are often aggravated by stress [12][13][14].…”
