Effects of various hormones and adrenalectomy on the levels of amylase in rat pancreas and parotid gland

T Takeuchi et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Dexamethasone, adrenocorticotropic hormone and thyroxine increased the amylase activities in both the pancreas and the parotid gland of infant rats. After adrenalectomy, the amylase activities of the pancreas and parotid gland were about half the control levels, suggesting that both glucocorticoid and thyroxine are involved in maintaining the amylase activities in these organs.
