Abstract:
Mature male rats received encortone in a dose of 1 mg/kg of body mass for 7 days and 30 days. The following changes were observed in the cells of parotid gland of the experimental animals in comparison with the control: a) after 7 days of encortone treatment increase of secretory cells activity appeared in the intensive production and secretion, b) after 30 days of encortone treatment a decrease in secretion production. Moreover, hyperplasia of serous cells, hyperthropy of cell nuclei, pycnosis of nuclei in some serous cells and hyperplasia of epithelium in some intercalated ducts were observed.
