Is saliva, a possible alternative to correlate serum lipids? - An exploratory study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background and Objective: Serum lipid panel screening has become a routine check up to rule out cardiovascular risks in many clinical conditions & it mainly serves as diagnostic, prognostic & monitoring purposes. But the salivary lipid profile has been poorly recognized. Hence the present study was undertaken to evaluate & to correlate between salivary & serum lipid profile. Method: A prospective study included 50 healthy individuals. Serum & salivary TC (CHOD-PAP method), TAG (GPO-PAP method), HDL-C (CHOD-PAP method) were estimated. Salivary & serum LDL- & VLDL-C was calculated by Friedewala’s formula Results: There was a moderate correlation between salivary & serum TC, TAG which was statistically significant (p<0.05). No correlation found between salivary & serum HDL-C, LDL-C. Interpretation and Conclusions: For the present study, salivary TC & TAG can be used as a non-invasive to assess lipid parameters.
