title: Short-term effects of secretagogues on the mouse parotid and sublingual gland tissular water.
abstract: The effects of isoproterenol and pilocarpine on the tissular water of mouse parotid and sublingual glands were studied by thermogravimetry (TG) coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results demonstrated that the short-term effects partly resemble the long-term action of these substances on the above-mentioned organs. Due to the different stages examined, it is difficult to speculate on the comparison between previous and the present findings. The original data resulting from the present research corresponded to the dimorphism expressed in the thermoanalytical profile of the parotid glands treated with secretagogues.
