Abstract
The alpha-amylase (128 subjects) and secretory IgA (118 subjects) concentration in stimulated parotid saliva of healthy individuals aged 23-84 years, was determined. They were divided into three age groups: I, 23-39; II, 40-59; and III, 60-84 years old. The concentrations (microgram/ml) of alpha-amylase for group I = 803.6; II = 648.0; and III = 652.4; the concentrations for secretory IgA for group I = 96.2; II = 101.8; and III = 97.7. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed no significant differences between groups for alpha-amylase or secretory IgA.Entities:
