Is there neural control over electrolyte reabsorption in the human salivary gland?

Abstract: A study was made of changes induced by cholinergic agonists and antagonists in the K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Cl- content of saliva of 22 human subjects with denervated parotid salivary glands. At all stages after denervation there was an increased content of Na+ and Cl- in the secretion of the denervated gland as compared with that of the control glands: after administration of pilocarpine and carbacholine; after administration of a combination of atropine and pilocarpine; in 'paradoxical' salivation induced by atropi… Show more

“…The salivary secretion is influenced by hormonal stimuli in rest and during exercise (17,33) . The action of parasympathetic hormones stimulates the saliva secretion resulting in a hypoconcentrated compound with low concentrations of organic substances (34) , while the sympathetic stimulation induces to saliva secretion with higher concentration of organic substances, making the medium to become hyperconcentrated (33,34) .…”

“…Perhaps the strongest evidence for physiological regulation of salivary electrolyte composition comes from studies in humans with a parasympathetically denervated parotid gland caused by traumatic rupture of the tympanic nerve (Levin & Khaikina, 1987). In such patients, the concentrations of Na+ and Cl-in saliva secreted at a given rate following stimulation with pilocarpine or carbachol are markedly increased in the denervated gland compared with the innervated gland.…”

“…During the first stage, 10-14 days after trauma, and cessation of the reflex secretion, an increase in sensitivity to cholinomimetics (pilocarpine, carbacholine, acetylcholine) is observed. During the second stage (several months after trauma) and the third stage (still later) certain extremely intense and prolonged salivatory responses to cholinolytics take place (2)(3)(4)(5)(6).…”
