The salivary levels of IL-1β (A), IL-6 (B), IL-10 (C), glutamate (D), kynurenine (E), kynurenic acid (F), and quinolinic acid (G) in the control (n = 19) and test (n = 17) groups, according to the assessment by the DuoSet ELISA assay and UHPLC-MS. The Unpaired Student’s t-test was performed for all of the inflammatory markers, and the test group was significantly different from the control group (A and D) (*p < 0.05). Each column represents the mean ± SD, and the N of each group is depicted in the scatter dot plots.
