Carbohydrate metabolism of salivary glands of acutely uremic rats.
Carbohydrate metabolism in salivary glands of acutely uremic rats was investigated. In the submandibular glands there was an increase of total carbohydrate and glycogen content 24 and 48 h following binephrectomy or ureter ligation. In contrast, lactate concentration was significantly lower. Similar alterations of carbohydrate metabolism could not be observed in sublingual or parotid glands of acutely uremic rats.
