The postnatal function maturation of the rat parotid was investigated using
micropuncture and microanalytical techniques. The cationic composition of the
luminal fluid at different levels of the duct system, the net transductal fluxes
of Na, K, and H2O and the salivary excretion of protein and amylase in
immature and mature rats were determined.
