Fig. 19. Non-invasive LED analysis of saliva information patterns during the day
Ferments of the serous secretion of salivary glands suppress a microflora determining an
antimicrobic function of covered coating produced by saliva of a hunger man. The saliva
pH level (8,5 pH after breakfast) of a sated man exceeds greatly the saliva pH value for
the hunger one (6,5-6,8 pH for awakening, 7 pH before a meal) and especially distinctly
after carbonaceous eating because of the acid-produced activity of an oral cavity
microflora changing saliva structural properties [9]. An information pattern after tooth
brushing of toothpaste (9,4 pH) is distinctly different from other conditions of saliva
taking and denotes the impossibility of immunorestoration as a result from a
carbohydrate food intake (Fig. 20).
Saliva structural properties are impaired, and the application of such toothpastes will
deteriorate biochemical saliva patterns in the future therefore. Toothpastes with a pH level
being close to an initial saliva pattern with the normal pH level about 6-7,5 promote the
recovery of saliva structural properties. Not only food, but also physical fatigue (5,5 pH)
produces changes of saliva information patterns. At the same time,
the saliva acidity is
genetic individual for everyone and is varied according to the consumed nutrient
composition. States of nervous excitement, mental or emotional strains produce an effect on
saliva information patterns, so that there is the increase of a protein level in human saliva
until 5 mg/ml, but its level doesn't exceed 2 mg/ml at rest.
The physical activity specifies the enhanced consumption of adenosine triphosphates in
muscles, a strong oxygen need of human organism and an increase of lactic acid. A glycogen
level is mainly consumed at the beginning of a physical work, but its consumption by
organism is reduced during a continuous work. Saliva protein and enzymatic components
characterize a human functional state during the physical activity therefore. There is the
