[Mechanisms of psychophysiologic regulation of the protein composition in the mixed human saliva].
As everybody knows, human saliva contains a huge variety of different proteins. The protein composition of the mixed saliva was found to depend to a certain extent on a psycho-emotional condition. The main elements of mechanisms of the psychophysiologic regulation of the protein composition of the mixed saliva are under discussion in the paper. A hypothesis is put forward, which envisages a possible different-type joint activity of the vegetative nervous centers controlling the saliva glands as triggered by emotions. Besides, issues related with the fundamental research as well as outlooks for using the analysis of the protein composition of the mixed saliva for the purpose of investigating the human psychophysiology and of coping with practical medical tasks are also under discussion.
