Electrical stimulation of the cervical sympathetic trunk or administering adrenaline or noradrenaline leads to pronounced changes in the composition of saliva obtained from the cat's submaxillary gland by simultaneous and/or subsequent chorda stimulation. The concentration of nonelectrolytes found in "normal" parasympathetic saliva rises and the gland becomes permeable to larger molecule: sucrose (MRD = 3.9 A) and raffinose (MRD = 5.1 A) diffuse freely from the plasma into the saliva whereas normally a radius of 3.2 A seems to be limiting. Molecules with radii exceeding 6A show restricted diffusion and inulin (MRD = 14.8 A) does not appear in the saliva under any circumstances.
