Effect of isoproterenol on the kallikrein content of the submandibular gland of rats.
The influence of IPR on the kallikrein content of the submandibular gland of 11, 21, 62 and 90 day old rats was investigated. The appearance of acini in IPR treated rats was associated with an increase in the kallikrein content of the gland in 11 day old rats. The decrease of kallikrein in the gland of 21 to 90 day old animals was attributed to the maturation of the autonomic nervous system and the mechanism of glandular secretion.
