Abstract: This invention describes pyruvate and related ?-ketocarboxylates as novel adjuvants in the treatment of acute post-tooth-whitening pain and sensitivity; the key feature is the cytoprotective efficacy of pyruvate on oral soft tissue, especially after topical application of high and therefore cytotoxic concentrations of H2O2, currently used in tooth whitening procedures.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses methods for diagnosis of calcium channel related diseases (e.g., RyR1-related diseases) comprising contacting lymphocytes isolated from a subject with a calcium channel agonist (e.g., an RyR1 agonist), measuring the adenosine and inosine produced by the lymphocytes; and comparing the measured levels in the sample to the adenosine and inosine levels in a normal control, whereby an increase in the adenosine and inosine levels relative to the control is indicative of a calcium channel related disease (e.g., RyR1-related disease). The invention also encompasses kits for diagnosis of calcium channel-related diseases.
