Abstract:
The protein composition of human saliva depends on psycho-emotional state of individuals. Depression was accompanied by decrease of proteins of molecular masses ranging from 20 to 200 kD, whereas emotionally positive intellectual activity caused the opposite effect. It is suggested that human saliva may be used as an experimental model for the development of diagnostics of various psycho-physiological states.
