title: beta-Adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in rat submaxillary glands. Effects of thyroidectomy.
abstract: Administration of triiodothyronine to thyroidectomized rats increased the density of beta-adrenergic receptors in rat submaxillary gland without significantly changing the density of muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Thus, thyroid hormone appears to regulate beta-adrenergic sensitivity in the rat salivary gland.
