Abstract
The effect of castration and of the daily administration of 1 or 10 μg of oestradiol benzoate during 1 month to spayed female rats upon sialic acid concentration in the submaxillary and sublingual glands and in plasma was studied. The weight and the sialic acid concentration in both glands was not significantly altered by castration. The administration of oestradiol benzoate increased the weight and sialic acid concentration in the submaxillary glands, but it did not affect the weight and decreased the sialic acid concentration of the sublingual glands. The plasma sialic acid concentration was decreased by spaying and increased by the administration of oestradiol benzoate to castrated rats.
