Response of submandibular gland of the rat to nutritional zinc deficiency
1979
Chaudhry, Iqbal M. | Meyer, Julia
The effects of zinc-deficiency on the submandibular gland of the rat are reported. Some comparisons with assays on pancreas are included. Protein content, DNA, acid phosphatase, and acid protease activities were not affected in submandibular gland. Recent studies attribute to salivary glands a role in the etiology of taste disturbances seen in clinical states of zinc deficiency. It is proposed that functional impairment of the myoepithelial cells might contribute to the disturbance of taste.
