Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Xerostomia has been reported to be closely associated with diabetes. We have analyzed salivary gland function in KK-Ay, a diabetes mouse model, to explore how diabetes induces xerostomia. Ca+ release from endoplasmic reticulum was significantly less in KK-Ay than control, which might result in decreased salivary secretion from KK-Ay submandibular gland. result in a decreased concentrations of Na+ and Cl- in the secreted saliva.
