  • Title: Degeneration secretion of amylase from the parotid gland of the rat.
    Author: Asking B, Emmelin N, Gjörstrup P.
    Journal: Q J Exp Physiol; 1982 Jan; 67(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 6177016.
    Abstract:
    In anaesthetized rats the parotid saliva secreted during degeneration of the auriculo-temporal nerve contains amylase in fairly constant concentration, the amylase output varying with the secretory rate. The amount of amylase was not reduced by adrenoceptor blocking agents; it was increased by sympathectomy carried out one week in advance. A sympathetic degeneration secretion of amylase could also be demonstrated while the post-ganglionic sympathetic nerves were degenerating; a simultaneous parasympathetic degeneration secretion provided the salivary flow needed for the transport of the amylase.
