The present study was designed to investigate 1) whether parasympathetic reflex vasodilatation occurs in the submandibular gland (SMG) in deeply urethan-anesthetized, cervically vagotomized, and sympathectomized rats when the central cut end of the lingual nerve (LN) is electrically stimulated and 2) to what extent the neural mechanisms underlying such responses are the same as those involved in the response to direct stimulation of the chorda-LN (CLN). Stimulation of each nerve separately elicited a marked blood flow increase in SMG. Section of the chorda tympani abolished the SMG blood flow response but had no effect on the lip blood flow increase evoked by LN stimulation. Section of the CLN abolished the SMG blood flow increases evoked by stimulation of either nerve. The SMG blood flow increases (regardless of whether they were evoked by LN or CLN stimulation) were markedly reduced by the autonomic cholinergic ganglion blocker hexamethonium. The present study demonstrates that a parasympathetic reflex vasodilator mechanism is present in the rat SMG and that it can express its effects under deep general anesthesia.

Oxygen consumption of slices of rat submandibular gland was monitored with an oxygen electrode method. Carbachol stimulated an immediate increase in tissue respiration that was inhibitable by ouabain. The stimulation required the presence of calcium in the incubation medium and was blocked by atropine. The calcium ionophore A23187 also stimulated ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption in the tissue slices. The results show that the mechanism using the extra energy during cholinergic stimulation is the sodium pump. Amiloride at a 1, 10, or 100 microM concentration had no effect on stimulation of ouabain-sensitive respiration by carbachol. Since amiloride, which is known to block the sodium reabsorption process in the ductal segment, has no effect on the stimulation, the increased sodium pump activity is probably located in the acinar region and is associated with the primary fluid secretion process.
