Morphological and Functional State of Major Salivary Glands under Conditions of Aluminum Chloride Excess in Drinking Water

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Morphology and function of the major salivary glands were studied in 50 albino rats drinking water supplemented with aluminum chloride for 2 weeks. Against the background of normal gland appearance, the salivation function and the composition of the saliva were changed: the concentrations of sodium and calcium ions and α-amylase activity were reduced. In parallel, cholesterol content was increased by 54%.
