Excessive stimulation of salivary gland growth by isoproterenol

H SELYE et al. Science. .

Abstract

In the rat, chronic treatment with isoproterenol can cause a selective growth of the salivary glands to approximately five times their normal size within 17 days. This enlargement is principally due to mitotic proliferation and hypertrophy of the parenchymatous cells.
