Effect of ultrasound on major salivary glands in rats: dynamics of their functional state.
The effect of ultrasound irradiation focused onto the gonial angle of the mandibular bone (5-10 sessions) on salivary function of the major salivary glands was examined on laboratory rats. Repeated sonication modified the character of salivary secretion cycle. In addition, it qualitatively changed ionic composition of the saliva.
