“…In this study, assessment of salivary glands' function was done by measuring salivary IgA and serum amylase levels. Gland damage can be monitored by elevated gland-specialized enzymes that are released in serum indicating functional loss or altered architecture [34].…”

“…[45][46][47] The association between salivary proteins and diseases such as periodontal disease, HIVimmunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases has been demonstrated. [48][49][50][51][52] To date, exosome analysis of salivary gland cells and saliva has been restricted to non-neoplastic human salivary gland cell lines 18 and whole saliva. 53 Therefore, the aim of the present study was an initial step to identify proteins secreted as human parotid gland exosome components in vivo in order to gain insight into their biological functions related to health and disease processes.…”

“…Studies in SS patients have further demonstrated increased levels of serum salivary isoamylase [15] and prolactin [16,17], the latter of which upregulates cathepsin B and cathepsin D expression in the minor salivary glands [18]. The salivary glands of SS patients have been found to have increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases [19].…”
