[Submaxillary glands in an endocrine context].

S Arancibia, I Assenmacher

    Journal De Biologie Buccale
    |September 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    The submandibular salivary glands (SMG) have both exocrine and endocrine functions, influenced by hormones like testosterone and thyroid hormones. These glands produce nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), impacting development and neuroendocrine regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Salivary Gland Biology
    • Neuroendocrinology

    Context:

    • The submandibular salivary glands (SMG) are increasingly recognized for their complex roles beyond exocrine secretion.
    • Hormonal influences on SMG function are well-established, affecting enzyme synthesis.

    Purpose:

    • To review the evidence for interrelationships between the submandibular salivary glands (SMG) and the endocrine system.
    • To highlight the dual exocrine and endocrine functions of the SMG.

    Summary:

    • Hormones such as testosterone, thyroid hormone T3, and glucocorticosteroids modulate SMG exocrine enzyme synthesis.
    • The SMG produces endocrine factors including nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), which have diverse biological actions.
    • SMG endocrine secretions are also regulated by testosterone, thyroid hormones, and adrenocorticosteroids, forming complex feedback loops with neuroendocrine targets.

    Impact:

    • Establishes the SMG as a mixed exocrine and endocrine gland, akin to other digestive tract segments.
    • Reveals novel insights into the regulation of NGF and EGF production and their roles in development and neuroendocrine control.
    • Provides a comprehensive overview of SMG's contribution to systemic hormonal balance and physiological regulation.
