Measurement of salivary resistin, visfatin and adiponectin levels

► Hormonal determination in saliva offers several advantages. ► We introduced a method for measuring resistin, visfatin and adiponectin in saliva. ► Salivary resistin and adiponectin significantly correlated with serum levels. ► No significant correlation between serum and salivary visfatin levels was observed. ► The determination of adipokines in saliva could be useful in clinical research.
