Sulfhydryl groups of the tissues of the submandibular salivary glands after interference with their para —Sympathetic innervation

Summary

The metabolism of the submaxillary salivary gland tissue (particularly the content of protein and retention nitrogen, free protein and nonprotein sulfhydryl groups) is seen to change following the exclusion of the central parasympathetic effect by chorda tympani division. These changes develop gradually and are distinctly seen on the 20th–21st day after the operation. They are similar for unilateral and bilateral denervation, but each type of denervation has its characteristic features. With unilateral denervation the metabolism of the contralateral gland is also altered; however, these changes are not marked and differ qualitatively from those in the denervated glands.
