Abstract

The usefulness of individual salivary protein spectra as indicators of resistance to stress is discussed. Analyses of total saliva performed before and after exposure to model stress showed that individual psychological and autonomic reactions correlated with specific changes in the concentrations of certain salivary proteins. Therefore, such an analysis could be useful for the assessment of individual resistance to stress.
