  • Title: Secretion and re-absorption of glucose in rat submandibular and sublingual saliva.
    Author: Takai N, Yoshida Y, Kakudo Y.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1983 Oct; 62(10):1022-5. PubMed ID: 6413563.
    Abstract:
    Glucose permeation from blood to saliva appeared to follow the paracellular pathway in rat submandibular and sublingual glands, and the permeability was much higher in the sublingual than in the submandibular gland. The duct system re-absorbed glucose in the submandibular but not the sublingual gland. The glucose concentration in sublingual saliva was inversely related to the flow rate.
