| Title of study | Metabolomics of Salivary Biomarkers in Yusho Patients |
| Abstract of study | Yusho patients had many symptoms, and mouth dryness was one of the important oral symptoms. Presently, some Yusho patients complain of mouth dryness. In the present study, we measured mouth dryness by using an oral moisture checking device and examined metabolites of saliva by using metabolome analysis. We found no difference between Yusho patients and controls in terms of mouth dryness. Concerning metabolomes of saliva, there were some metabolites in Yusho patients that were not in controls. |
