The submandibular glands of rats subjected to application of an incisal bite plane became slightly, but not significantly, enlarged. However, in. comparison with control animals, they secreted additional proteins identical with those secreted by glands enlarged by periodic incisor amputation or chronic isoproterenol treatment.
