Adrenalectomy decreased sialic acid content in the submaxillary and retrolingual glands of normal male rats. The administration of cortisol acetate to adrenalectomized rats increased submaxillary and retrolingual sialic acid content; administration of desoxycorticosterone acetate decreased the submaxillary gland content but not the retrolingual gland content.
