Saliva samples were collected by using a Salivette collection device kit (No. 51.1534; Sarstedt, Numbrecht, Germany), according to the guideline. In brief, the sample was collected between 7.00 and 8.00 a.m. before breakfast. Each subject must rest for 1 min in a sitting position before saliva collection. Swab was directly placed into the subject's mouth under the tongue or allowed to move freely across the tongue. Do not place the swab between the cheek and gum and keep the swab in the mouth for two to three minutes to assure that the swab was completely saturated with enough volume (1/4 teaspoon was required). The samples were immediately frozen and transported to the laboratory for assays.

Saliva samples were collected to quantify the MAO-A MAO-B activities and cortisol using a Salivette collection device kit (No. 51.1534; Sarstedt, Numbrecht, Germany). The samples were collected between 7.00 and 8.00 a.m. before breakfast. Each subject rested for one minute in a sitting position before a saliva sample was collected. A swab was placed directly into each subject’s mouth under the tongue and kept in the mouth for 2–3 minutes to ensure that the swab had been thoroughly soaked with enough saliva (a minimum of 1/4 teaspoon). The samples were immediately frozen and transported to the laboratory for assays. The saliva cortisol levels were measured using ELISA kits, and the MAO-A and MAO-B activities were determined using a modification of the method reported by Holt et al. [15 (link)].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
