The effect of the ionophore A-23187 was tested on isolated secretory granules of rat parotid gland. The ionophore caused extensive release of calcium from the granules without effecting release of amylase or other secretory proteins. It is therefore concluded that the role of calcium in the granules is probably not that of a stabilizing agent.

Administration of the ß-adrenergic drug, isoproterenol (IPR), affects the release of 98% of stored amylase from rat parotid gland acinar cells. A period of 6 h elapses from the onset of secretion to the maximum [14C]phenylalanine (Phe) incorporation into total protein and amylase. 10 h after IPR administration the rate of [14C]Phe incorporation into total protein was no longer elevated above that of control. Incorporation into amylase, however, remained elevated above the control by 2.3 times. This latent period may reflect: (a) reduced amounts of available ATP which occurs as a result of the process of secretion as well as (b) the time required for reorganization of cellular organelles and membranes after secretion. The latent period after IPR-induced secretion appears similar to the latent period which has recently been reported to occur after physiologic release of amylase from the parotid gland during the diurnal feeding cycle of the rat. These observations support the existence of a positive feedback system operant in the parotid acinar cell linking the release of secretory proteins with their synthesis. The period of greatest protein synthesis is, however, temporally dissociated from the secretory process.

Changes in the rat parotid gland and its secretion, brought about by chronic isoproterenol administration, were studied. In addition to the expected enlargement, morphological and biochemical analyses of the glands showed evidence of changes in the secretory components. Chromatographic and electrophoretic experiments revealed both qualitative and quantitative changes in the secretory proteins.
