Saliva as a unique sample for health assessment is gaining
attention among researchers of different fields in the last 20
years; being reflected in an impressive increase in the number of
papers published studying saliva from different biological aspects
in human and veterinary species. Once deemed merely a digestive
juice is now considered a biological fluid capable of communicating
information about physiopathological processes occurring in
organisms, since saliva has been shown to contain molecular and
bacterial compounds that can change in response to local and
systemic pathologies. Furthermore, the interest of saliva as a
diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring biofluid is forced by its
non-invasive nature being of easy and inexpensive sampling,
involving only minimal discomfort and allowing the collection of
multiple/repeated specimens at anytime, anywhere and without need
for specialized staff. In this contributed volume, the authors
bring together, summarize and reflect the generated knowledge about
saliva as a source of biomarkers for health and welfare evaluation
in humans and animal models. This volume also highlights the
importance of confounding factors, such as sampling methods, flow,
total protein content, contamination, or storage. This book will
serve as a manual for graduates, practitioners and researchers by
providing general ideas about the possibilities and utilities of
saliva in clinical practice or investigation, and indicating the
main cautions each should have in mind before saliva usage.
