  • Title: Characteristics of stimulated parotid gland secretion in the aging rat.
    Author: Bodner L, Baum BJ.
    Journal: Mech Ageing Dev; 1985 Sep; 31(3):337-42. PubMed ID: 4068769.
    Abstract:
    The production of pilocarpine-stimulated parotid saliva was evaluated in young adult and aged male and female rats. Parotid salivary flow rate was about 50% lower in aged animals of both sexes. Saliva of aged animals had the same Na+ concentration as that of young rats but contained about 40% more protein. Salivary K+ concentration was similar in young and aged males but not females.
