  • Title: Histological, morphometric and histochemical changes in the submandibular gland of the rat under experimental protein-calorie malnutrition.
    Author: Ferreira AM, Piza IG, Fava-de-Moraes F.
    Journal: J Biol Buccale; 1985 Mar; 13(1):45-53. PubMed ID: 3921533.
    Abstract:
    Submandibular salivary glands of rats, subjected to experimental protein-calorie malnutrition, were studied by histologic, morphometric and histochemical methods. Marked alterations were observed. Acinar atrophy, a severe decrease in the volumetric proportion of the granular duct, and a decrease in the protein content of the granular duct cells were all recorded. Neutral mucosubstances were reduced in both acinar and granular duct cells.
