The flow rates and the Na+/K+ quotients of the saliva from the parotid and palatine glands were determined by direct comparison in 121 patients. The results showed that the flow rates and the Na+/K+ quotients of the same types of glands were not correlated with each other. Pronounced and specific interrelations as to the amount of secretion were observed only in patients complaining about dry mouth or smarting of the mucosa or patients under chronic treatment with psychoactive drugs where secretory inhibition is a side effect. The evaluation of the Na+/K+ quotients demonstrated that the secretion examined was almost exclusively resting saliva secretion. Based on these observations it is important that our understanding of the control mechanisms governing the activities of the different gland types within the masticatory system be reassessed.
通过直接比较，测定了121例患者腮腺和腭腺唾液的流速及钠/钾商。结果显示，相同类型腺体的流速和钠/钾商彼此不相关。仅在抱怨口干或黏膜刺痛的患者或接受精神活性药物长期治疗（分泌抑制是副作用之一）的患者中观察到了关于分泌量的显著且特定的相互关系。钠/钾商的评估表明，所检测的分泌几乎完全是静息唾液分泌。基于这些观察结果，重要的是我们要重新评估对咀嚼系统内不同腺体类型活动控制机制的理解。
