The role of autonomic innervation upon the 131i uptake by the submaxillary glands in hamsters

Secretion of Protein by the Submandibular Glands of the Rat, Mouse, and Hamster in Response to Various Parasympatho- and Sympatho-mimetic Drugs

“…7 Abe and Dawes8 and Abe et al 9,10 recently found that characteristic proteins (a-type) were secreted by rat submandibular glands in response to high doses of a-adrenergic agonists, in contrast to those (3-type) elicited by (3-adrenergic and cholinergic agonists and by low doses of aadrenergic agonists. Furthermore, Abe and Dawes8 postulated that the a-type proteins could be derived mainly from the convoluted granular tubules, whereas the 3-type were primarily from the acinar cells.…”
