CHOLINESTERASE IN THE SUBMAXILLARY GLAND OF THE RAT AFTER SYMPATHETIC DENERVATION

Ivar Nordenfelt 1

1 Institute of Physiology, University of Lund, Sweden

Cholinesterase activities have been estimated manometrically in submaxillary glands of the rat after postganglionic sympathetic denervation.

In denervated glands there is a significant increase of the break down of the two substrates studied, methacholine chloride and benzoylcholine chloride. This finding is considered to support the hypothesis that in the glands there is collateral sprouting of cholinergic fibres after degeneration of adjacent sympathetic neurones.
