  • Title: The effects of alpha-methylnoradrenaline on protein and electrolyte secretion by rat submandibular and parotid glands.
    Author: Abe K, Dawes C.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol C Comp Pharmacol Toxicol; 1984; 78(2):383-9. PubMed ID: 6149085.
    Abstract:
    alpha-Methylnoradrenaline (alpha-mNA) is a potent secretagogue for the parotid and submandibular glands of rats. With regard to the parotid glands, alpha-mNA activates mainly beta-adrenoceptors. In the submandibular glands, alpha-mNA activates alpha-adrenoceptors at higher doses whereas at relatively lower doses it activates beta-adrenoceptors. alpha-mNA may not stimulate the specific alpha 2-adrenoceptors of the salivary glands of rats.
