The Parotid Salivary Glands. I. Potential Role of a Parotid Factor Modulating Pancreatic β-Cell Function. II. An Immunohistological Study to Identify Parotid Hormone Secreting Cell(s)
<p>The physiologic role of the parotid glands is more complex than its recognized salivary function. Various investigators have suggested an intriguing relationship between the parotids and the pancreas, both endocrine and exocrine in nature.</p> <p>We studied in rats the contribution of salivary …

Studies on the Secretory Process of Rabbit Parotid
… developed by using dissected lobules of rabbit parotid glands. The system can be used to study a series of aspects related to the last phases of the secretory cycle (concentration, storage, discharge). The work reported in this thesis characterizes the system and presents data concerning the …

Molecular Cloning of the cDNA for Porcine Parotid Hormone
<p>It has been found that parotid glands secrete a factor into blood that stimulates dentinal fluid movement, which in turn, prevents the development of dental caries. This factor, designated as parotid hormone, has been isolated from porcine parotid glands and its partial amino acid sequence has …

The Role of the Parotid Salivary Glands in the Regulation of Insulin Secretion
… sialoadenectomy, and the administration of parotid hormone (PH), sodium fluoride (NaF), or guanidino-succinic acid (GSA) were examined for effects on fasting plasma glucose and insulin or effects on intravenous glucose tolerance in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Basal glucose and insulin were …

Comparison of Ecto-Nucleotidase Activity in PAR-C5 Cells and Native Rat Parotid Gland
Cells from a parotid gland acinar cell line (PAR-C5) cells were investigated to compare the activity of the ecto-nucleotidase enzyme in those cells to those of native parotid gland acinar cells. The object of this study was to determine how useful the PAR-C5 cells are as a model for salivary gland …

The effects of ageing and streptozotocin (STZ) - induced diabetes mellitus on the rodent parotid gland
… leads to marked alterations in oral health. The parotid glands play major roles in maintaining salivary secretions to assist in the lubrication and protection of the oral cavity and in digestion. This study investigated the effects of ageing and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes on the …

The Effects of 5-Fluorouracil on The Secretory Process of The Rat Parotid Gland (Protein)
… amylase and protein content of cannulated parotid saliva were determined following stimulation with either 5 mg/kg pilocarpine or 5 mg/kg isoproterenol in experimental, pair-fed, and control animals. Saliva from experimental animals was significantly lower in volume, amylase and protein …

The Effect of Feeding, Bilateral Parotidectomy, and Pilocarpine Treatment on Parotid Hormone Secretion in the Pig
<p>The effect of feeding, bilateral parotidectomy, pilocarpine treatment, visual and olfactory, and masticatory stimuli on parotid hormone (PH) secretion is reported. Feeding a regular chow was shown to be a potent stimulus for PH secretion. The parotid endocrine system is highly sensitive to the …

CLASSIFICATION OF PATIENTS WITH PAROTID CANCER USING DYNAMIC CONTRAST AND DIFFUSION EXAMINATIONS WITH RADIOMICS AND MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES
… male, 22 female, age 18–88, median 59.4) with parotid gland lesions (10 W, 15 A and 18 M) who underwent a neck MRI examination at San Paolo Hospital of Milan between April 2020 and July 2023 and histopathologically-confirmed. In total, 13 radiomics features were extracted from DWI with 11 B …

The Effects of Methotrexate on Rat Parotid and Submandibular Glands and Their Secretions (Antineoplastic, Protein, Salivary, Amylase Catecholamines)
… with methotrexate (15 mg/kg) for 3 days. Parotid and submandibular main ducts were cannulated and saliva flow was evoked by either intravenous infusion of acetylcholine (10 to 100 (mu)g/min) or an intravenous injection of bethanechol (100 (mu)g/kg).

A STUDY OF THE ENZYME A-AMYLASE OF THE PAROTID GLAND AND THE CHANGES OF ITS VALUES DURING ACUTE INFLAMMATION OF THE PANCREAS (ACUTE PANCREATITIS). THE RESULTSWERE COMPARED WITH THOSE OF PREVIOUS STUDIES AND THE CORRELATION OF SECRETORY ACTIVITY THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE PAROTID GLAND AND THE PANCREAS …

Improving Quantitative Treatment Response Monitoring With Deformable Image Registration
… image registration algorithm, pre-RT tumor and parotid gland volumes can be more accurately mapped to serial functional images. To test the hypothesis, specific aim 1 was designed to analyze whether deformably mapping tumor volumes rather than aligning to bony structures leads to superior tumor …

The Effect of Dental Plaque Accumulation on Secretory IgA in Saliva
… correlation between dental plaque accumulation , parotid and whole secretory IgA (S-IgA) concentrations and minute secretion rates of S-IgA over a six week period. Eighteen healthy, male freshmen dental students were instructed to refrain from oral hygiene care for six weeks. Accumulation of …

Significance of Salivary Gland Radioiodine Retention on Post-ablation 131I Scintigraphy as a Predictor of Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
… Both peak uptake and the %was hout of the parotid glands were significantly lower after radioiodine therapy (allp values <0.001),whereas only the %wash out were significantly reduced in the submandibular glands (all p values<0.05). For the parotid glands, the TWS+ groups howed larger …

Mechanisms associated with secretory and contractile responses in tissues and cells of the body in health and disease
… cells taken from the thyroid gland, the parotid land, the ancreas, the stomach and the lacrimal gland. 1n addition, the study investigated the roles of anti-ulcer and anti-secretory drugs in the stomach and calpains in relation to vision. The study was designed to understand diseased …
