Saliva samples were collected in the first day of life from 22 newborn infants, weighing between 1,22-2,26 kg and 27 newborn infants, weighing between 2,60-3,80 (controls). After 30 days new samples were obtained from 11 children from the first group and 16 children from the control group. Related to capacity of saliva secretion from the control group, no significant difference was observed between both groups. Contrary what is observed for other enzymes of the digestive tract, secretion and concentration of salivary amylase is not affected in low birth weight infants.
在出生第一天从22名体重在1.22至2.26千克之间的新生儿和27名体重在2.60至3.80千克之间的新生儿（对照组）采集唾液样本。30天后，从第一组的11名儿童和对照组的16名儿童获得新的样本。与对照组的唾液分泌能力相关，两组之间未观察到显著差异。与消化道其他酶的情况相反，低体重婴儿的唾液淀粉酶分泌和浓度不受影响。
