  • Title: Autonomic regulation of potassium release from human labial salivary glands in vitro.
    Author: Izutsu K, Ensign W, Ramsey B, Schubert M, Allan B, Truelove E.
    Journal: Arch Oral Biol; 1988; 33(7):519-23. PubMed ID: 3245782.
    Abstract:
    Labial salivary-gland slices from normal human subjects were incubated in vitro according to various protocols. The autonomic regulation of these was significantly different from that of most major salivary glands. K release was stimulated by incubation with a cholinergic agonist but not with alpha- or beta-adrenergic agonists. The cholinergically-induced K release was dependent on agonist concentration and was inhibited by the addition of atropine, and by the removal of Ca in the presence of EGTA.
