Popis: Patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) suffer widely from lack of saliva production. Here we investigate potential mechanisms underpinning changes in SS patient saliva composition. Sodium concentration was significantly higher in all saliva samples collected: unstimulated submandibular/sublingual (SmSl) saliva (p
