Chronic reserpinization of mice and rabbits affected parotid gland function; cholinergic and β-adrenergic-stimulated amylase release were significantly reduced, and cyclic-AMP and cyclic-GMP levels were significantly elevated above control-stimulated levels. Amylase released by dibutyryl-c-AMP was also reduced, suggesting a defect in stimulus-secretion coupling subsequent to c-AMP formation.
