Outline of Final Research Achievements

Paracellular transport is domminant during sustained stimulation of muscarinic receptor. Using various size of fluorescent marker, the relationship between fluid secretion and marker riatio in perfusate/saliva, whch revealed the paracellular route for various size of molecules is same. The driving force for paracellular fluid transport was assessed mainly hydrostatic pressure across tight junction. For measurement of vibration near the tight junction, the movement of gland by peristaltic pump was monitored three-demensionally in reference to the position of fluorescent bead fixed inside of the vasculature. In addition, the capillary was observed in the perfused gland morphologically. The number of capillary increased by muscarinic stimulation, suggesting that the increase in the area of vascular bed, causing a pressure decrease in the feeding artery but increase in the pressure surrounding acinar region due to th e increase in fluid flow across capillary endothelial cells.
