title: [Modulating effect of the salivary glands upon differentiation and maturation of taste bud cells in the rat (author's transl)].
abstract: It is currently considered that the sensitive nerves of the papillary plexus are solely responsible for the normal differentiation of taste bud cells in the circumvallate papillae of the rat. The effect of syallectomy on taste bud cells was studied. Evaluation of results was performed through cell counts. The results demonstrate that the major salivary glands are quite important in both differentiation and maturation of taste bud cells.
