The effects of feeding two different dietary fats on saliva composition were studied in monkeys. Two groups of adult monkeys (M. fascicularis) were fed diets containing 10% corn oil (CO) or 10% hydrogenated coconut oil (HCO). Pilocarpine-stimulated parotid and submandibular saliva samples were obtained at 0, 17, 26 and 29 weeks. These, along with blood plasma, were extracted for lipids, and the fatty acid composition of total lipids was determined by gas chromatography. The levels of linoleic acid in saliva were significantly lower in monkeys fed a diet containing HCO as compared to the other group. Total protein and alpha-amylase activity of saliva showed no difference between the two groups. The results show that nature of the dietary fats can affect the fatty acid composition of parotid and submandibular saliva.
在猴子身上研究了两种不同膳食脂肪对唾液成分的影响。两组成年猕猴（食蟹猴）分别喂食含10%玉米油（CO）或10%氢化椰子油（HCO）的日粮。在第0、17、26和29周采集毛果芸香碱刺激后的腮腺和下颌下唾液样本。将这些样本连同血浆一起提取脂质，并用气相色谱法测定总脂质的脂肪酸组成。与另一组相比，喂食含HCO日粮的猴子唾液中亚油酸水平显著降低。两组唾液的总蛋白和α-淀粉酶活性无差异。结果表明，膳食脂肪的性质会影响腮腺和下颌下唾液的脂肪酸组成。
