title: The influence of encortone on ultrastructural changes in the parotid cells of female white rats of Wistar race.
abstract: It is generally known that glucocorticoids exert an essential influence on digestive tract physiology (2). Many investigations carried out refer to the changes observed in the pancreas under different experimental conditions (4, 5, 6, 7, 8). The investigations of the influence of glucocorticoids on salivary glands and mainly on a parotid gland are very general. Salivary glands play an important role in the initial stages of taking up and assimilating food. Moreover, the produced growth factors and parotin play an important role in tissue development and maturation in young animals (12).
