  • Title: Effects of secretory nerve stimulation on acid phosphatase and peroxidase in submandibular saliva and acini in cats.
    Author: Garrett JR, Kidd A.
    Journal: Histochem J; 1977 Jul; 9(4):435-51. PubMed ID: 914651.
    Abstract:
    The effects of parasympathetic or sympathetic nerve stimulation either alone, or in combination, on the acid phosphatase-containing central acinar cells and the peroxidase-containing demilunar cells of the cat submandibular salivary gland have been investigated by histochemical and cytochemical techniques. The results obtained with these techniques were correlated with biochemical assays for both enzymes in the saliva secreted. The results indicate that, although both sets of nerves probably affect both sets of cells, the predominant secretory effect of parasympathetic stimulation is on the central cells and, conversely, the predominant secretory effect of sympathetic stimulation is on the demilunes. Sympathetic stimulation appeared also to have initiated synthesis of peroxidase in the demilunar cells, especially when it was superimposed upon parasympathetic stimulation.
