SENSITIZATION OF THE SUBMAXILLARY GLAND BY SYMPATHETIC DENERVATION

Abstract
Chronic denervation of the submaxillary gland of the cat by excision of the superior cervical ganglion sensitizes the gland to pilo-carpine, adrenaline and, less consistently, to acetylcholine. Cocaine increases the responsiveness of the normal (acutely denervated) gland, but not that of the gland already sensitized by chronic sympathetic denervation.
