[Trial modeling of acinous structures of the rat sub-mandibular gland].
The sub-mandibular glands of rats subjected to unbalanced protein diets for six months were submitted to histomorphometric study in optical light microscopy. Protein deficiency led to slower growth although an hyperprotein diet did not alter acini distribution significantly. The results allowed an acinous structure model related to the diet protein ratio to be tested.
