Effect of Pilocarpine on Acid-Soluble Phosphate Compounds of Rat Submaxillary Glands

Abstract

Summary

1. Administration of pilocarpine increases the rate of entry of P³² into submaxillary glands of rats by approximately 20% but does not appear to have any additional effect on the rate of incorporation of P³² into creatine phosphate or adenosine phosphates. 2. Pilocarpine administration does not alter the concentrations of creatine phosphate or adenosine phosphates in rat submaxillary glands.
