Experiments were carried out on 12 subjects to study the secretion of Na and K in the parotid
saliva over secretory rates ranging from 0.06 to 2.2 ml/min. The possible effect of X …

A current hypothesis suggests that the mechanism of salivary production involves the
formulation of a precursor solution followed by reabsorption of sodium and water but not …

The concentrations of ions in the saliva vary with the secretory rate. Different results
concerning sodium concentration in relation to flow rate have been found by different …

The relation between the rate of secretion and the concentration of sodium and potassium in
human parotid saliva has been studied in three women with uncomplicated essential …

RESULTS For all 513 subjects of Group I, the mean for parotid flow rate was 0.027 (SD=
0.025) ml/min, for sodium 2.61 (SD= 2.00) mEq/1, and for potassium 36.7 (SD= 12.5) mEq/1 …

The purpose of this study was to know the range of fluctuation of inorganic ion
concentrations and pH in the unstimulated whole saliva and also to know if there is …

Heidenhain first observed that the percent salt content of saliva increased with increasing
salivary flow rate. Thaysen explained this phenomenon by postulating that saliva was …

(I) first demonstrated that the concentration of inorganic salts in the submaxillary saliva of
dogs varies in proportion to the secretory rate. Gregersen and Ingalls (2) showed that the …

IN A VERY recent report (DAWES, 1969) it was shown that the chloride concentration in
human parotid saliva was dependent not only on flow rate but also, at a constant flow rate …

Twenty-four healthy subjects were placed for 12–13 weeks on diets that reduced average
sodium intake from 145 to 74 m-equiv. Na+/day as determined by multiple 24-h urine …
