Mast cells in the submandibular gland of cat
Agents and Actions
|April 1, 1983
Abstract:
The effects of pilocarpine, compound 48/80 and the electrical stimulation of the chorda tympani nerve on the morphology of the mast cells from the submandibular gland of the cat were studied. All those different treatments of the gland caused the enlargement of the tissue mast cells. We observed also in the glands treated with pilocarpine and compound 48/80 a degranulation of mast cells. The degranulation was more expressed after the application of compound 48/80 to the animals.
