Metabolites in human biofluids reflect individual physiological body states influenced by various factors. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we conducted non-targeted, non-invasive, comprehensive metabolomics using saliva of 27 healthy volunteers in Okinawa, consisting of 13 ...
Cariogenic microorganisms as well as salivary metabolic status in early childhood caries (ECC) have been reported to differ from that in adult caries. The main aim of this study was to identify specific microbial species and salivary metabolites in children with ECC using species-specific qPCR an...
Metabolites are important determinants of disease progression. In this study, we conducted a case-control study to explore permanent teeth caries-related differences in salivary metabolite profiles and related changes in the composition of the oral microbiota in 200 subjects including 100 caries-...
