The adrenergic receptors involved in secretion of kallikrein and the vasodilatation occurring subsequent to sympathetic nerve stimulation have been studied in the cat submandibular salivary gland. Measurements were made of kallikrein content in glandular homogenate and of venous outflow and glandular perfusion pressure. Isoprenaline failed to cause secretion of kallikrein in contrast to sympathetic nerve stimulation and close arterial injections of noradrenaline. Nerve stimulation and noradrenaline reduced the amount of kallikrein in the glands by 60 and 50 per cent, respectively. The α-blocking agent Regitin® inhibited completely the secretion of kallikrein induced by nerve stimulation, while adrenergic β-blockade had no inhibitory effect on enzyme secretion. In this gland, therefore, the secretion of kallikrein is mediated entirely through activation of adrenergic α-receptors.
The β-blocking agent propranolol reduced the nerve induced vasodilatation by about 40 per cent. This sympathetic vasodilator response was present, but markedly reduced, after pretreatment with Regitin,® which abolished kallikrein secretion and the vasoconstrictor phase of the nerve-induced vascular response. This study and an earlier report (Gautvik, Kriz and Lund-Larsen 1972 a) suggest that β-adrenergic receptors in the glandular vessels, as well as ®aL-adrenergic receptors involved in the secretion of kallikrein, play a role in the vasodilatation observed in this gland subsequent to sympathetic nerve stimulation.
