Chewing gum has large effects on salivary testosterone, estradiol, and secretory immunoglobulin A assays in women and men - PubMed
Salivary assays are increasingly prevalent in behavioral research, and chewing gum is a widely used sialogogue. Methodological investigations into sialogogues have provided mixed results, and few of these have incorporated multiple analytes, gums, and genders. To test effects of gum on salivary...
Chewing gum significantly decreased production time for the second saliva samples by 3-6 min, and had very large effects on assay results, leading to lower IgA and higher T and E in men and women. Variability was large and differed by gender/sex. Implications include strong gum-assay immunoreactivity, the importance of gender/sex in methodological investigations, and that immunoreactivity can differ in degree and direction depending on analytes.
