The present chapter revises the current knowledge about the use of salivary biomarkers for metabolic and endocrine disease diagnosis and monitoring in humans and different animal species. Currently, most information available comes from human medicine and studies performed with experimental animals such as mouse or rat, and less from other veterinary species. Furthermore, since obesity and its-related pathologies are currently recognised as the biggest worldwide public health crisis and socioeconomic problem in the twenty-first century, this chapter will focus most on this disease.
