The study found that nitrite in stimulated saliva is correlated with blood nitrite levels, while nitrite in unstimulated saliva shows no correlation with blood nitrite. Platelet activity in baseline, determined by P-selectin expression, is negatively correlated with nitrite in blood and post-mouthwash stimulated saliva. Additionally, salivary nitrate levels correlate with plasma nitrate levels.
Nitrite anion (NO2) is a circulating nitric oxide (NO) metabolite considered an endothelial function marker. Nitrite can be produced from nitrate (NO3-) secreted from plasma into saliva. The nitrate reductase of oral bacteria converts salivary nitrate to nitrite, which is swallowed and absorbed into circulation. In this study, we aimed to examine the relevance between these species' salivary and blood levels. We collected three whole saliva samples (unstimulated, paraffin-stimulated, and post-chlorhexidine mouthwash stimulated saliva) and blood from 75 healthy volunteers. We measured the nitrite and nitrate by the chemiluminescence method. The nitrite levels in stimulated saliva and post-mouthwash stimulated saliva exhibited weak correlations with blood nitrite. There was no correlation between nitrite in unstimulated saliva with blood nitrite. The baseline platelet activity, determined as P-selectin expression, negatively correlated with nitrite in plasma and post-mouthwash stimulated saliva. The salivary nitrate in all saliva samples showed correlations with its plasma levels. We conclude that nitrite in stimulated saliva correlates with blood nitrite.
