title: [Calcitonin and salivary gland amylase secretion in vivo and in vitro. Preliminary report].
abstract: Synthetic human calcitonin stimulates amylase secretion of salivary glands in man. The same effect has been demonstrated in isolated cells of rat salivary glands. In vitro experiments suggest that the stimulatory effect is a direct action of calcitonin on salivary cells. Salivary secretion is not affected by pancreozymin or secretin. Our findings afford another example of the difference in secretory behaviour between salivary glands and pancreas.
