Unstimulated secretions from labial (upper and lower), buccal, lingual and palatal minor glands were measured with a Periotron 6000 model 2 (Proflow) in 99 non-medicated, healthy individuals aged from 17 to 81 yr (49 males and 50 females). The palatal minor glands had the lowest flow rates, buccal and anterior lingual glands the highest, and labial glands (upper and lower) intermediate secretory rates. Lower labial glands (p < 0.01) in both sexes and upper labial glands in females (p < 0.05) demonstrated a significant decrease in unstimulated output with age, while buccal glands in both sexes (p < 0.05) showed a significant decrease in flow rates only after the age of 50 yr. Thus minor glands show regional variation in their secretory rates and labial and buccal glands appear to show a decreased unstimulated flow in older individuals.
使用Periotron 6000型2（Proflow）测量了99名年龄在17至81岁之间（49名男性和50名女性）未接受药物治疗的健康个体的唇腺（上唇和下唇）、颊腺、舌腺和腭腺的非刺激性分泌物。腭腺的流速最低，颊腺和舌前腺的流速最高，唇腺（上唇和下唇）的分泌率居中。两性的下唇腺（p < 0.01）和女性的上唇腺（p < 0.05）的非刺激性分泌量随年龄增长显著下降，而两性的颊腺（p < 0.05）仅在50岁以后流速才显著下降。因此，小唾液腺的分泌率存在区域差异，唇腺和颊腺在老年人中似乎表现出非刺激性流速降低。
