Alpha-Amylase Activity in Feline Saliva: An Analytical Validation of an Automated Assay for Its Measurement and a Pilot Study on Its Changes Following Acute Stress and Due to Urinary Tract Pathologies

Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) increases in response to stressful stimuli in a number of animal species, and it is considered a biomarker of sympathetic nervous system activation.
