Submandibular glands from young adult and aged male and female rats have been examined and various descriptive parameters obtained. Several sex differences were observed with tissue from young and old animals. Sex differences were found in the gland contents of DNA, protein, and sialic acid and in some protein components resolved by gel electrophoresis. Significant age-related decreases in the gland contents of protein, sialic acid, and neutral sugar, but not DNA, were found with male rats. In female rats these values were constant across the animal's adult lifespan.
对年轻成年和老年雄性及雌性大鼠的下颌下腺进行了检查，并获得了各种描述性参数。在幼年和老年动物的组织中观察到了一些性别差异。在DNA、蛋白质和唾液酸的腺体含量以及通过凝胶电泳分离的一些蛋白质成分中发现了性别差异。雄性大鼠的蛋白质、唾液酸和中性糖的腺体含量出现了与年龄相关的显著下降，但DNA没有。在雌性大鼠中，这些值在动物的成年寿命期间保持不变。
