[Effect of salivary gland stimulation by sialadenotrophic influences on the development of stress ulcers of the stomach in rats].

It was demonstrated in experiments on female Wistar rats that transient hypertrophy of the salivary glands (the sialadenotrophic effect) induced by trypsin ingestion or repeated amputation of the lower incisors inhibits the development of stress erosive-ulcerating lesions of the gastric mucosa (GM). Stimulation of the salivary glands by sialadenotrophic effects caused an increase of the depth of the gastric pits and the height of the surface-foveolar epithelium responsible for mucus production, as well as a reduction in the number of parietal cells per unit of area of GM section.
