The types of proteins secreted by rat submandibular glands in response to secretory stimulation with epinephrine, norepinephrine, or phenylephrine were dose-dependent. At relatively high doses the proteins secreted were characteristic of α-adrenergic stimulation, whereas at low doses they were characteristic of β-adrenergic stimulation.
