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