Abstract
The concentration of lithium after oral administration in human parotid saliva, submaxillary saliva, and serum was determined; salivary concentrations were several times that of serum. Lithium in unstimulated saliva was directly proportional to serum concentration; lithium in stimulated parotid saliva tended to be a negative function of flow rate.Keywords
