Abstract:Shimamoto and his coworkers (1-3) of this laboratory have shown that the adre nergic innervation of the submaxillary gland in dog mainly inhibits the cholinergically salivary secretion, especially in winter.In the dog anesthetized with amobarbital sodium they showed 1) that stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve or the splanchnic nerve depressed or blocked the salivary responses to stimulation of the chorda tympani and to administration of pilocarpine or acetylcholine, 2) that the intravenous injection … Show more
“…The submaxillary gland contains a relatively large amount of noradrenaline (4). Yamawaki (5) has shown that the profuse, spontane ous flow of the submaxillary saliva begins to manifest in association with sedation caused by reserpine in an unanesthetized dog, and is abolished by sectioning of the chorda tympani. However, the spontaneous flow of saliva turns to a decrease at the time when the endogenous catecholamines in the brain, heart and adrenal glands are maximally depleted (6).…”
Shimamoto et al. (1-3) in this laboratory have shown that the sympathetic stimula tion of the submaxillary gland in dog, though produces a transiently mucinous secretion * Mean±S .E.M. (pg/g).
