Abstract
The effects of physalaemin and acetylcholine on fluid and electrolyte excretion by the mandibular and sublingual glands of the rat were examined. Physalaemin-evoked mandibular and sublingual saliva was found to be poorer in sodium and potassium than acetylcholine-evoked saliva. These findings agree well with previous findings in the isolated perfused main excretory duct where physalaemin stimulates sodium reabsorption and inhibits potassium secretion, whereas acetylcholine has the opposite effect.
