Research Abstract |
Although cigarette smoking induces salivary secretion, it is unclear the induction mechanism. In the present study, we investigated effects of nicotine on rat parotid gland cells using intracellular Ca^<2+> imaging. Nicotine increased intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration in salivary cells, and the response was blocked by drug-induced nerve synaptic blockage. Therefore, it is possible that nicotinic receptors in nerve terminals terminated the salivary gland mediate salivary secretion.
