Sensitization of the Submaxillary Gland of the Rat after Sympathetic Denervation

Abstract
The sensitivity of the submaxillary gland of the rat to chemical stimuli was examined 1, 4 and 6 wk after sympathetic denervation. The gland developed a supersensitivity not only to noradrenaline [norepinephrine] but also, in contrast to previous reports, to adrenaline [epinephrine] and metacholine. The supersensitivity remained unaltered throughout the observation period.
