Abstract
⺠Change in saliva flow rate may affect the accuracy of salivary HVA and MHPG assays. ⺠Variation in their salivary concentrations due to gum-chewing was measured using LC/ESI-MS/MS. ⺠Salivary concentrations significantly decreased when salivation was stimulated. ⺠Stimulated saliva should be used with caution in the measurement of the catecholamine metabolites.
