Abstract

Objective Free radicals have been implicated in aging, mutagenesis, inflammation and other pathological conditions. We conducted a study to clarify the relation between a pleasant feeling as a psychological eustress and free radical-scavenging capacity (FRSC) in saliva.Methods Saliva was collected from 27 healthy volunteers. FRSC before, during and after watching a cheerful comical video for 30 min was measured by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH).Results The median values of FRSC (micromol/ml) before, at 10 and 20 min during and after watching the video were 54.5, 66.8, 66.6 and 69.4, respectively. The FRSC values obtained after watching the video were significantly higher than those before watching it (P<.001). When the FRSC before watching was taken as 1, the value for the group that felt "Very good," "Good" or "Ordinary+Dull" while watching the video for 30 min was 1.38, 1.20 or 0.98, respectively (P<.01).Conclusion Watching a comical video enhanced the FRSC in saliva; in addition, a pleasant feeling boosted it even more.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
