Abstract
Following transfection of aquaporin into the parotid ducts of minipigs with salivary hypofunction, the resulting increase in salivary flow rates contradicts current understanding of ductal fluid transport. We show that the change in saliva electrochemistry and flow rate can be explained by changes in expression of ion transporters in the ductal cell membranes, using a mathematical model replicating a single parotid duct.
