Popis: Saliva as biochemical material can be obtained by non-invasive method in sufficient amount for biochemical analyses. Worldwide saliva is explored as possible material for diagnose, treatment or monitoring of various diseases. The aim was to calculate reference values of some biochemical parameters in saliva and to compare their values in saliva and serum. Saliva samples were collected from 34 healthy volunteers (9 men, 25 women), age 25-70, in salivettes - special plastic tubes for painless collecting of saliva samples. Twelve parameters were analysed by routine spectrophotometric methods for serum. Mean values for saliva are calculated for glucose: 0.58 mmol/L, urea 6.52 mmol/L, creatinine 139.4 μmol/L, uric acid 218.6 μmol/L, cholesterol 0.30 mmol/L, triglycerides 0.238 mmol/L, potassium 14.92 mmol/L, sodium 10.8 mmol/L, calcium 2.213 mmol/L, iron 9.10 μmol/L, AST 20.3 U/L and ALT 11.7 U/L. Reference values of these parameters in saliva are calculated and compared with serum. These biochemical parameters can be determined in saliva by standard laboratory methods for serum, but the regularity that can put saliva in routine analysis isn't yet established.
