Salivary Electrolyte Changes During the Normal Menstrual Cycle

Daily samples of parotid and submaxillary saliva were collected from eight females during a complete menstrual cycle. Findings revealed significant electrolyte changes in the submaxillary saliva. Comparison of menstrual and midcycle concentrations of calcium and sodium demonstrated a notable decrease in calcium and sodium at midcycle, whereas potassium levels increased significantly. Changes were attributed to a probable hormonal effect on salivary composition.
