Transport of electrolytes/water and exocytosis are activated by elevation of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and are potentiated by elevation of cytosolic cyclic AMP. To correlate mucin and fluid secretion with morphological changes, rat submandibular glands were vascularly perfused and the fluid secretion and N-acetylgalactosamine in the saliva were measured during stimulation with various concentrations of carbachol (CCh) and/or isoproterenol (ISP). Single stimulation with 1 muM CCh induced a transient increase of N-acetyl galactosamine followed by a decline to a low level during sustained stimulation. The overload of 1 muM ISP increased secretion of N-acetyl galactosamine to a higher sustained level of 40-50 mug/g-min. However, at 1 muM CCh, fluid secretion was maintained at the same level during stimulation and even overload of 1 muM ISP did not significantly affect its level, whereas addition of 0.5 muM ISP to the gland stimulated with 0.1 muM CCh increased fluid secretion. Morphological observation was carried out by HRSEM and TEM. Combination of CCh and ISP in different concentrations resulted in distinctive morphological changes which reflect fluid secretion and mucin secretion. The kinetics of ATP and creatine phosphate (PCr) were measured using P-31 NMR, which indicated that the potentiation of fluid secretion is limited under a higher level of CCh stimulation due to a limited energy supply.
