title: The effects of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and phenylephrine on the types of proteins secreted by rat salivary glands.
abstract: The types of proteins secreted by rat submandibular glands in response to secretory stimulation with epinephrine, norepinephrine, or phenylephrine were dose-dependent. At relatively high doses the proteins secreted were characteristic of alpha-adrenergic stimulation, whereas at low doses they were characteristic of beta-adrenergic stimulation.
