Abstract

Body weight and weight of submandibular gland of mice given subleathal doses of puromycin were studied after Pilocarpine. 1. Body weight showed a significant decrease during the firse 10 days after puromycin alone. 2. Injections of pilocarpine abolished the increase in glandular weight of the submandibular gland. 3. This was thought to indicate the possibility that the increase in organ weight might be due to the inability of the organs to release synthesized secretory Products.
