Abstract
The in vivo activity of rat-parotid isoamylases was increased following alpha-receptor block by phentolamine. Additional inhibition of the beta-receptors by propranolol did not further augment the isoenzyme activities. After 21 days, the isoamylase concentrations were even lower than after alpha-receptor block alone. Based upon these results, an alpha-receptor mediated discharge from the duct system of already secreted gland protein and a possible role of the alpha-receptors in protein secretion from the parotid gland are discussed.Entities:
