| Abstract | The role of K+ and Cl− channels in salivary secretion was investigated, with emphasis on the potential role of Ca2+-activated K+ channels. Ligand saturation kinetic assays and autoradiography showed large-conductance (BK) K+ channels to be highly expressed in rat submandibular and parotid glands, whereas low-conductance (SK) K+ channels could not be detected. To investigate the role of K+ and Cl− channels in secretion, intact rabbit submandibular glands were vascularly perfused and secretion induced by 10 µM ACh. Secretion was inhibited by 34±3% following perfusion with the general K+ channel inhibitor Ba2+ (5 mM), whereas organic inhibitors of BK (200 nM paxilline) or intermediate-conductance (IK) K+ channels (5 µM clotrimazole) had no effect. Secretion was strongly influenced by Cl− channel inhibitors, as 100 µM 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate (NPPB) completely abolished, while 10 µM NPPB, 20 µM NS1652 and 20 µM NS3623 reduced secretion by 34±3%, 23±3% and 59±4%, respectively. In conclusion, although high expression levels of BK channels were demonstrated, pharmacological tools failed to demonstrate any role for BK, IK or SK channels in salivary secretion in the rabbit submandibular gland. Other types of K+ channel, however, and particularly Cl− channels, are essential for ACh-induced salivary secretion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
