Differential expression of cardiometabolic and inflammation markers and signaling pathways between overweight/obese Qatari adults with high and low plasma salivary α-amylase activity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between salivary α-amylase activity (sAAa) and susceptibility to cardiovascular disorders lacks a definitive consensus in available studies. To fill this knowledge gap, the present study endeavors to investigate this association among overweight/obese otherwise healthy Qatari adults. The study specifically categorizes participants based on their sAAa into high and low subgroups, aiming to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the potential link between sAAa levels and cardiovascular and inflammation markers in this population.

Methods

Plasma samples of 264 Qatari overweight/obese (Ow/Ob) participants were used to quantify the sAAa and to profile the proteins germane to cardiovascular, cardiometabolic, metabolism, and organ damage in low sA
