Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes with age in salivary concentration levels by study groups . Scatter plots represent the median concentrations of salivary lactoferrin (A), total salivary protein (C), and the ratio of salivary lactoferrin levels in total salivary proteins (E) in DS and control groups subdivided according to age (under and over 45 years of age). Longitudinal changes with age in salivary lactoferrin (B), total salivary protein (D), and the ratio of salivary lactoferrin levels in total salivary proteins (F) using regression curves of the linear (left panels) and LOESS (right panels) models for each group and 95 % CI, representing the evolution of age-related changes. LTF: lactoferrin. (n = 72 DS, 80 control). ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Levels of lactoferrin in saliva samples were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using the Human Lactoferrin ELISA kit (FineTest, Wuhan, China) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Techniques: Concentration Assay, Control
