    Author : Anders Ryberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Muscarinic receptor subtype; neuronal; non-neuronal; expression; secretion; blood flow; salivary gland; human; rat; sheep;

    Abstract : Parasympathetic nervous activity is the principal stimulus for evoking fluid responses within salivary glands. Concomitantly to the onset of this response, the blood flow increases. READ MORE
