“…The increase in enzyme activity seems to depend on an intact auriculo-temporal nerve, since after severance of this nerve in both groups the choline acetyltransferase activity of the gland 3 weeks later is not higher in the rats on bulk diet than in those on control diet. The small residual enzyme activity probably reflects the presence of cholinergic neurones left unsevered at the operation, as seems to be the case after denervation of the cat's and dog's parotid glands [Nordenfelt, 1963;Garrett, 1966a and b;Garrett and Holmberg, 1972;Holmberg, 1971Holmberg, , 1972Ekstr6m and Holmberg, 1972b;Ekstr6m and Emmelin, 1974a and b].…”

“…Other anomalies exist (see Garrett, 1987b). Any contributions from the facial nerve, which passes in the vicinity of the glands, have yet to be fully evaluated (see Garrett and Holmberg, 1972;Ekstrom et al, 1988).…”

“…This remarkable ability of the gland to regenerate allows the investigation of innervation mechanisms normally only present during the embryonic and neonatal development of salivary glands. Following ligation, as atrophy develops, acinar cell volume reduces, axon length is reduced and nerves appear to lose contact with salivary cells ( Garrett et al 1979 ). The total level of choline acetyltransferase, a good marker for parasympathetic nerves, is also reduced, suggesting fewer cholinergic nerves ( Banns et al 1979 ).…”
