Norepinephrine and epinephrine contents in oral, esophageal, and gastric mucosa are studied in rats by high-performance liquid chromatography 24 h, 3 days, and 7 days after removal of the main salivary glands. A 24-h deficiency of saliva leads to a sharp decrease in the norepinephrine contents in oral and esophageal mucosa. Three days after the sur...
In order to get information about the distribution of glycogen in ameloblasts and odontoblasts, studies were made of newborn rats of sialoadenectomized dams and newborn rats of control dams. Rodent offspring were decapitated on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th days after birth. Their heads were fixed in 10% neutral formalin solution, decalcified in ...
