The Liberation of Adrenergic and Cholinergic Substances in the Submaxillary Gland

The Effects of Anticholinesterases on Humoral Transmission in the Submaxillary Gland

“…Although Bunch (1900) found a shrinkage in volume of the gland under sympathetic stimulation, he observed that it was followed by a swelling. Cattell et al (1934) found the blood flow to be reduced; but Carlson (1907), Carlson and McLean (1908), and Barcroft and Piper (1912) were all agreed that the constriction was transitory and was followed by a longlasting and considerable dilatation, so that the blood flow through the gland was mainly increased.…”

Studies on Capillary Fragility: A Device for the Study of Capillary Hemorrhage

“…Whether such principles are elaborated during the mastication of a meal in sufficient amounts to exert a detectable physi¬ ologic influence has not been demonstrated. 2 Some evidence has been reported purporting to indi¬ cate that the salivary glands produce an internal secre¬ tion which influences the production of other digestive secretions and even affects sugar metabolism. None of the evidence that has been submitted to date is convinc¬ ing.3 It is interesting that bilateral ligation of the duct of the parotid gland in the dog increases sugar tolerance in the normal but not in the depancreatized dog.…”
