  • Title: Factors influencing the movement of parotid amylase into the serum of rats on feeding.
    Author: Proctor GB, Asking B, Garrett JR.
    Journal: Exp Physiol; 1990 Sep; 75(5):709-12. PubMed ID: 1700915.
    Abstract:
    Feeding hard chow to rats for 1 h caused an increase in parotid-type amylase in the serum. The increase was largely inhibited by parasympathetic or sympathetic denervation of the parotid glands and also by beta-adrenoceptor blockade. The results suggest that movement of amylase into the blood is influenced not only by the volume of saliva being formed but also by its amylase content.
