“…5 We have previously found that the biochemistry of human saliva is altered in response to external and internal factors such as smoking, 6 vegetarian diet, 7 peptic ulcer 8 and Ramadan fasting. 9 Other investigators have shown that in vitro exposure to cigarette smoke could significantly decrease biological activity of some enzymes, both in plasma and in saliva. 10,11…”

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with chronic systemic inflammation. Oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of SLE. An increase in free radicals or an impaired antioxidant defense system in SLE causes oxidative stress. Therefore, oxidative damage plays an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE. Variations in antioxidant activity have been previously studied in serum of patients with this disease. However, salivary factors have not been evaluated. Considering that saliva, the noninvasive biological fluid, could be a reflection of the state of health, the purpose of this study was evaluation of peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity in the saliva of patients with SLE. During the course of the practical part of the project, 30 patients with SLE and 30 healthy controls were selected to donate their saliva samples. After centrifugation of un-stimulated saliva, biological activity of POD, CAT and SOD were evaluated on their appropriate substrates using spectrophotometric methods and the results were statistically analyzed. The results showed that activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT were significantly reduced in saliva of SLE patients as compared to controls. The results suggest that antioxidant status was impaired in the saliva of SLE patients, and antioxidant status of saliva could be one of the non-invasive markers for SLE.

“…Other than that, some of the respondents are removable orthodontic appliances users that had regularly scaling treatment. Another research concluded by Sariri about alternative glucose saliva during Ramadhan fasting [18] explained that even though Ramadhan fasting affected saliva glucose, it would not affect glucose function in healthy human's saliva, since the concentration of glucose saliva depended on their intake during fasting. Normal saliva function was considered important for healthy oral mucose maintenance.…”

Fasting has many health benefits for the human body as there is a detoxification process or release of toxic substances in the bod. One of the benefits are on blood pressure and oral hygiene. This research aims to identify the difference of blood pressure and oral hygiene level between clinical dental profession students who have a habitual and those who have no habitual doing Monday Thursday fasting. The Mann-Whitney U-Test result for blood pressure category showed a p value 0,006 (p<0,05). There was a difference in the blood pressure among two groups. The oral hygiene level category showed that p value 1,000 (p>0,05) and , there was no significant difference in the oral hygiene level. Based on this study's result, it can be concluded that the clinical dental profession students with a habit of doing Monday Thursday fasting had normal blood pressure compared to those with no habitual. However at the oral hygiene level, all students had good oral hygiene due to sufficient oral health knowledge.

“…16 While increased blood glucose may lead to higher levels of salivary glucose, 12 a decrease in mean glucose concentration is seen in the saliva of fasting subjects when compared to the control group. 17 A significant correlation was seen between postprandial serum and salivary glucose levels in both diabetics and nondiabetics (P < .001) in the study conducted by Gupta et al 21 Self monitoring of blood glucose has made the task of monitoring diabetes less burdensome. However, it's many disadvantages (painful, inconvenient, messy, embarrassing, expensive) cause patients to find the testing distressing.…”

“…15 Saliva is an organic fluid and is made up of many constituents like glucose and amylase 16 and is the first biological fluid to be affected by any change in eating habits or any environmental or physical changes. 17 Glucose moves through membranes of blood vessels as it is a small molecule and then passes from the blood plasma via gingival sulcus to the gingival fluid, and reaches the saliva. 18 Diabetes mellitus is known to alter salivary composition and function which disrupts the homeostasis of the oral cavity and makes it more prone for oral diseases.…”

Diabetes is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. However, a large percentage of diabetics live without being diagnosed. 9 The early diagnosis of diabetes can prevent early, long -term complications that are responsible for the high morbidity of diabetics. This major global risk is predicted to cause substantial financial loss due to increased health care expenditure and lost productivity. 10 This makes the primary prevention of diabetes and its complications, of paramount importance. It is known that diabetes affects salivary composition and function. 8 This study was done to examine the effect of age on salivary and blood glucose levels in type II diabetics. Salivary and blood glucose levels were estimated and compared in both groups. The eighty adults included in our study belonged to the age group of 30 -50 years and were divided into 2 groups -diabetics and healthy adults. Both groups were further divided into 4 groups based on age (30-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50 years). Blood samples were obtained from subjects after an overnight fast and 2 hours postprandial and analysed with hexokinase enzyme using an automated analyser. Saliva samples obtained from subjects after an overnight fast and 2 hours postprandial were assessed with glucose oxidase enzyme using a colorimeter. Salivary glucose levels were compared between diabetics and healthy adults by t-test. Relationship between salivary and blood glucose was assessed by correlation test. Difference in salivary and blood glucose levels between age groups was determined by Kruskal-Wallis test. Salivary glucose is significantly higher in diabetics (P<0.001). Correlation flanked by salivary and blood glucose is not seen. Further studies will help in use of salivary diagnostics for early and non-invasive diagnosis of diabetes. Blood glucose is highest in 36-40 years and salivary glucose in 46-50 years age group. There is a temporal shift in the age of diagnosis of diabetes.
