Purpose: To investigate inter- and intra-individual variation in the levels and outputs (concentration multiplied by salivary flow rate) of salivary metabolites in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS).Methods: A total of 56 samples of stimulated saliva were collected from 14 female pSS patients during four laboratory visits within 20 weeks and analyzed using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Single saliva samples from each of 15 controls were also analyzed.Results: Among 21 quantified metabolites, choline was significantly elevated in the pSS patients at each time point (P
