The influence of submaxillary gland factor upon Golgi complex activity in jejunum epithelial cell of mice.
The effects of submaxillary gland factor on the thiamine pyrophosphatase, 5-nucleotidase (the markers of Golgi complex), adenosine-triphosphatase, NADPH-tetrazolum reductase and acid phosphatase were studied in the intestinal epithelium of mice. A decreased intensity of histochemical reactions for the markers of Golgi's complex after salivectomy and an increased activity after homogenate injection were confirmed. The reaction intensity to NADPH-tetrazolium reductase, adenosine-triphosphatase and acid phosphatase after salivectomy and after homogenate injection were similar to those of the control mice with sham operations. On the basis of investigations performed, this provides support, that submaxillary glands produce a factor which controls Golgi complex activity and may influence on glycocalyx synthesis.
