In vitro effects of eledoisin on amylase secretion and cyclic AMP concentration of rat's parotids.
Amylase secretion from in vitro rat parotids was strongly stimulated by eledoisin. In the same experimental conditions the glandular cAMP concentration was not affected by the peptide. The results might indicate that the effect of eledoisin on rat parotids is not mediated by cAMP.
