Abstract

The short-term effects of two different secretagogues on the water contained in the mouse submandibular gland were studied using the thermal analysis as investigation method. Isoproterenol induced a retention while pilocarpine promoted a release of weakly and strongly bound water. In addition, submandibular glands of subjects administered with isoproterenol were characterized by a thermal behaviour different in males and females above all as concerns the time of reaction to the secretagogue; the reaction delay observed in females was correlated with the effects of this pharmacological substance on the convoluted granular tubules that are responsible for the sexual dimorphism in mice.
