The saliva of patients with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas (CFP) contains higher concentratioas of Na than the saliva of normal subjects. The hypothesis that the salivary electrolyte abnormality in CFP may be due to a Na transport inhibitory factor (or factors) present in the saliva of these patients was investigated. Such a factor would decrease Na reabsorption in the salivary glands and cause increased Na concentrations in the final saliva. Retrograde perfusion of the rat parotid gland was used to determine this factor. Retrograde perfusion with normal saline or saliva from normal children did not affect the rate of Na reabsorption in the rat parotid gland. Retrograde perfusion with ouabain containing saline or saliva from patients with CFP resulted in a marked decrease of the rate of Na reabsorption. Saliva from patients with CFP contains a factor that causes inhibition of Na transport in the rat parotid gland. The saliva of patients had no effect on the in vitro activity of membrane ATPase preparations obtained from beef parotid, human erythrocytes and rat kidneys. This indicates that the saliva of patients with CFP causes inhibition of Na reabsorption in the rat parotid by an action other than inhibition of the activity of ATPase, an enzyme known to be involved in Na transport across biological membranes.
