Abstract:
85 healthy young people were participates of a randomized placebo controlled cross-over fashion. This study tested associations between different water drinking behavior, the condition of oral immune protection and stress factors over 3 months. We examined saliva IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, γ-IFN, α-amylase and compared them with stress-associated psychophysiological data. As a result of our study we made a saliva pretreatment plan for cytokines and amylase assays, also we tried to understand the strategy of mechanism associations between different water drinking behavior, the condition of oral immune protection and stress factors.

Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
