Relationship of advanced oxidative protein products in human saliva and plasma: age- and gender-related changes and stability during storage
Abstract:Abstract

The blood levels of advanced oxidative protein products (AOPP) elevate in aging and age-related diseases. However, saliva AOPP in healthy humans have been unexplored. Thus, we investigated 143 Chinese healthy adults to assay age- and gender-related changes in saliva and plasma AOPP levels and the stability of saliva AOPP stored both at ??20°C and ??80°C. We found the mean AOPP levels in saliva and plasma of 119 subjects were 7.51?±?3.20 and 28.31?±?5.53 μmol/L (μM). An age-dependent increase was observed in both saliva and plasma AOPP levels. This increase was particularly significant in the elderly subjects compared with that in the young and middle-aged ones. A significant positive correlation among age, saliva and plasma AOPP levels was observed. No gender-dependent difference was observed in either saliva or plasma AOPP levels during the aging process. Furthermore, AOPP levels in the 24 saliva samples showed no significant change at every successive determination during 4 weeks at ??80°C, whereas those levels significantly increased after 7 days of storage at ??20°C. These results indicate the feasibility to screen aging biochemical indicators using saliva AOPP as an alternative to blood AOPP. Saliva AOPP samples are suitable to be stored at ??80°C.
