Abstract
After ligation of the excretory ducts and subsequent atrophy of the parenchymal cells of the rat sub‐maxillary and sublingual glands, a severe reduction of the MAO activity was demonstrated both biochemically (more than 60 per cent decrease expressed as activity per gland) and histochemically. Chronic postganglionic sympathectomy produced a much smaller diminution of the MAO activity in these glands. It is concluded that the major part of the MAO in rat salivary glands occurs in the parenchymal cells.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
