The histochemical localization of acetylcholinesterase activity in the lacrimal gland was investigated in intact (control) and chemically sympathectomized desert rats. An intensely positive specific cholinesterase reaction was found in the thick nerve bundles distributed throughout the interlobular connective tissue septa. Thick and fine nerves were present in the vicinity of the intra- and interlobular ducts and round the glandular acini and the blood vessels. The finding that this distribution pattern did not alter in the lacrimal gland of chemically sympathectomized animals suggest that the nerves are of a parasympathetic nature.
在完整（对照）和经化学方法交感神经切除的沙漠大鼠中，研究了泪腺中乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的组织化学定位。在分布于整个小叶间结缔组织间隔的粗大神经束中发现了强烈阳性的特异性胆碱酯酶反应。在小叶内和小叶间导管附近以及腺泡和血管周围存在粗大和细小的神经。化学交感神经切除动物的泪腺中这种分布模式没有改变这一发现表明这些神经具有副交感神经性质。
