Although serum amylase level is an important diagnostic factor in certain salivary and pancreatic diseases, little information is available regarding the mechanism by which parotid amylase reaches the circulatory system. The present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between parotid isoamylase concentrations in blood serum and in parotid tissue in response to various stimuli. Wistar rats were fed with standard laboratory rodent chow; water was supplied ad libitum. In the first experiment, after a 16-h fasting, rats received either 5 mg/kg pilocarpine or saline (control). In the second study, after fasting, half of the rats were fed for 1 h, the other half received no food. In the third experiment, the changes in serum and tissue enzyme levels were monitored in freely fed animals during the peak-food intake phase, the first 2 h of the dark period. Amylase concentration was determined by using starch as a subst...
