A slow, long-lasting 'degeneration secretion' from the parotid gland was brought about in anaesthetized rats by section of the auriculo-temporal nerve 16-19 h in advance. This parasympathetic background activity greatly increased the secretion of amylase elicited by sympathetic nerve stimulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In slowly secreting submandibular glands of dogs, a sympathetic effect on myoepithelial cells was demonstrated as an acceleration of the flow, follwed by retardation, on short-lasting sympathetic stimulation, particularly after β-adrenoceptor-blocking drugs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
