1. Male Wistar rats were given unilateral postganglionic parasympathectomies by sectioning the auriculo-temporal nerve. 2. Analyses of the protein compositions of sympathetically induced saliva from both glands 1 week later revealed changes in the proportions of different secretory proteins, in particular amylase and basic proline-rich proteins were decreased. 3. These results suggest that parasympathetic impulses are required for the normal synthesis of amylase by parotid parenchyma in rats. Basic proline-rich proteins, known to require a sympathetic drive for normal synthesis, appear to require a parasympathetic input as well.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010275 Parasympathetic Nervous System The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.
