The purpose was to determine the effects of a carbohydrate (CHO)-protein (PRO) drink, consumed immediately after endurance exercise on saliva anti-microbial proteins known to be important for host defence. Eleven male runners ran for 2 h at 75% VO2max on two occasions, and immediately post-exercise were provided, in randomised order, either a placebo solution (CON), or a CHO-PRO solution containing 1.2 gCHO·kg-1BM and 0.4 gPRO·kg-1BM (CHO-PRO). Both solutions were flavour and volume equivalent (12 ml·kg- 1BM). Saliva flow rate, lysozyme, α-amylase, and secretory (S) IgA concentrations were determined from unstimulated saliva samples collected pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise and every 30 min until 180 min post-exercise. CHO-PRO ingestion immediately post-exercise resulted in a lower saliva flow rate compared with CON at 30 and 60 min post exercise. Saliva lysozyme concentration increased immediately post-exercise in both trials compared with pre-exercise (P< 0.05), and CHO-PRO ingestion immediately post-exercise resulted in a higher saliva lysozyme concentration in the first hour of recovery compared with CON (125% greater at 30 min; 94% greater at 60 min, P< 0.01). Saliva SIgA concentration decreased below pre-exercise concentrations 90-150 min post-exercise (P< 0.01) with no effect of CHO-PRO. Saliva α-amylase activity was unaffected by exercise or CHO-PRO re-feeding. CHO-PRO re-feeding did not alter the secretion rates of any saliva variables during recovery. In conclusion, immediate re-feeding with CHO-PRO evoked a greater saliva lysozyme concentration during the first hour of recovery after prolonged exercise compared with ingestion of placebo, but had minimal impact upon saliva α-amylase and SIgA responses.

: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental disorder that has been linked to hyperhomocysteinemia and folate deficiency. These conditions are influenced by the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase () gene, which plays a crucial role in converting homocysteine to methionine and is essential for folate metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin. : This study explored the association between and polymorphisms among Saudi MDD patients attending the Erada Complex for Mental Health and Erada Services outpatient clinic in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Our lab previously established that repeated exposure to a bitter diet can increase salivary protein (SP) expression, which corresponds to an increase in acceptance of the bitter stimulus. However, this work was exclusively in male rodents, here we examine sex differences. We found that there are no differences in SP expression (experiment 1) or quinine diet acceptance (experiment 2) across stage of estrous cycle.

This study investigated the neural correlates of perceiving visual contagion cues characteristic of respiratory infections through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Sixty-two participants (32f/ 30 m; ∼25 years on average) watched short videos depicting either contagious or non-contagious everyday situations, while their brain activation was continuously measured. We further measured the release of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in saliva to examine the first-line defensive response of the mucosal immune system.

An easy applicable and selective sample preparation technique has been developed for trace and simultaneously analysis of Glipizide (GLP) and Pravastatin (PST) molecules in biological matrices based on magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A new magnetic adsorbent including FeO@TEOS-Melamine has been synthetized and characterized for extraction studies. Experimental variables of MSPE were examined and optimized step by step such as pH, adsorption and desorption conditions, time effect, etc.
