“…Alagendran et al ., (2009)[11] in their study to assess the usefulness of saliva as a biomarker of ovulation detection showed that saliva can be used to test cholesterol and phospholipids instead of blood. The present study also suggests that saliva may be used for TC, TGL, HDLC, VLDLC and to some extent for LDLC monitoring, as these follow the course of plasma lipid profile and show a positive correlation.…”

Context:The correlation of serum and salivary lipid profile has been poorly characterized. The most commonly used laboratory diagnostic procedures for lipid profile involve analysis of cellular and chemical constituents of blood/plasma. As a diagnostic aid, saliva offers many advantages over serum.Aims:To evaluate and compare the serum and salivary lipid profile levels in healthy individuals and to validate the role of saliva as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing lipid profile.Settings and Design:The present study was a prospective study.Materials and Methods:A total of 100 healthy study subjects who had no complaint or any major illness in recent past were selected. The parameters assessed included serum and salivary: total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDLC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDLC), very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDLC) and triglycerides (TGL).Statistical Analysis Used:Evaluation of results and statistical analysis was carried out using descriptive, correlation and regression analysis.Results:There was a moderate level of correlation between serum and salivary TC, TGL, HDLC and VLDLC and there was a low and quite small correlation between serum and salivary LDLC. For all the five parameters assessed as a part of lipid profile, the correlation coefficients were highly significant statistically and also, with an increase in the serum mean values, corresponding increase in the saliva mean values for all the five parameters was noted.Conclusions:From the present study we conclude that saliva can be used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing lipid profile.

“…Female orangutans have a menstrual cycle which lasts for around 27–28 days [ 3 , 7 ] as in humans [ 8 ]. In women, the fertile period occurs circa 5–6 days before and during ovulation [ 9 ], which occurs around the 13 th or 14 th day of the cycle [ 10 ] similar as in orangutans [ 11 ]. The menstrual cycle of orangutan female can be sometimes monitored by visible menstruation.…”

“…Crystallization of body fluids, related to menstrual cycle, was first observed in human cervical mucus 60 years ago [ 16 ]. Saliva crystallization was later also described in humans in association with the fertile period [ 10 , 17 – 19 ] and pregnancy detection [ 20 ]. Saliva crystallization changes during the menstrual cycle.…”

“…Saliva crystallization changes during the menstrual cycle. According to certain authors [ 10 , 21 , 22 ], it is caused by cyclic changes in hormonal levels, concretely estrogens. Estrogens have been found to be a cause of rising of electrolytes, which are necessary for the formation of crystals.…”

“…Fern-like crystallization is typical for estrus [ 17 , 19 , 23 ]. Certain authors admit that saliva crystallization has potential in fertile period monitoring [ 10 , 17 – 20 , 24 ] and pregnancy detection [ 20 , 25 ] in humans. However, there are also studies that disprove these information [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Saliva crystallization was previously studied in both humans and animals with various results. The study aimed to confirm of the presence of saliva crystallization in female Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), to evaluate the quality of samples which were collected from animals and processed by keepers, and to test preliminarily if the saliva crystallization could be connected with menstrual cycle and could serve as a cheap, quick and simple method for the basic monitoring of their reproductive status. The research was carried out from September 2014 to January 2015. Sampling of saliva was done in three female orangutans from three zoological gardens (Dvur Kralove, Usti nad Labem, Bojnice) daily, mostly by tongue prints on glass slides with ground edges or by sampling directly from the mouth using plastic spoons from which the saliva was transferred onto glass slides. Samples were evaluated by light microscopy with ×400 magnification. The quality of the sample and type of crystallization was assessed for two different approaches. In total, 246 samples were evaluated. We confirmed the presence of saliva crystallization in orangutans. The quality of samples was variable however acceptable. Unfortunately, it was impossible to detect exact fertile period in two females. However in one orangutan female, when the crystallization was evaluated by the approach typically used in humans, we discovered that saliva crystallization during the fertile period significantly differed from saliva crystallization in the non-fertile period. This points out the possibility of using saliva crystallization for detection of the fertile period in orangutans. However, further research was recommended.

Hier stellen wir einige der Hauptkonzepte und Ansätze der Volatolomik, einem sich rasch entwickelnden Gebiet der schnellen, risikofreien und wahrscheinlich preisgünstigen Diagnostik, vor. Wir versuchen, einen Überblick über die Herkunft und die Eigenschaften der Volatolomik anhand von flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (“volatile organic compounds”, VOCs), die von Zellen und ihrer Mikroumgebung freigesetzt werden, zu geben. Wir beschreiben außerdem das Vorkommen von VOCs in verschiedenen Körperflüssigkeiten, darunter die zelluläre Umgebung, Blut, Atemluft, Haut, Faeces, Urin und Speichel. Schließlich diskutieren wir den Nutzen der Volatolomik für eine Diagnosestellung auf Basis einer einzelnen Körperflüssigkeit ebenso wie die Verbesserung der Diagnosesicherheit durch den “Hybrid”‐Ansatz, bei dem die VOC‐Profile von zwei oder mehr Körperflüssigkeiten erstellt und kombiniert werden. Die Perspektiven dieser Verfahrensweise zur Weiterentwicklung der Diagnostik werden aufgezeigt.

Biochemical evaluation in human saliva with special reference to ovulation detection

Abstract: This study concluded that saliva-specific carbohydrates in the ovulatory saliva make the possibility to develop a biomarker for detection of ovulation by non-invasive methods.
