이상의 결과로 보아 Alloxan 유도 당뇨백서에서 약하선 중량의 감소와 Na**+ , K**+ ATPase의 활성감소가 타액선 분비에 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Effect of insulin deficiency and insulin replacement therapy on body weight, the weight of submaxillary gland and Na**+ , K**+ adenosine triphosphatase(Na**+ , K**+ ATPase) in submaxillary gland of albino rats were observed. Experimental study of
the Na**+ , K**+ ATPase of submaxillary gland was done by a doxycholate-treated procedure and the results were obtained as follow;
1. Alloxan treated group revealed marked decrease of the body weight and weight of submaxillary gland than control group. These changes were recovered by insulin replacement therapy.
2. Blood glucose level of control group was 93.5±2.74mg%, alloxan group was 230.3±16.05mg%, and insulin treated group was 110.6±3.7mg% respectively.
3. Result of double treatment of sodium deoxycholate on the tissue of submaxillary gland was presented higher(9.3%) specific activity of Na**+ , K**+ ATPase than single treatment of sodium deoxycholate, but specific activity of Mg**++ ATPase was not influenced by the times of treatment of sodium deoxycholate.
4. The specific activity of Na**+ , K**+ ATPase of alloxanized rats was lowered about 20% than control group. These change were recovered by insulin replacement therapy.
There results suggested that the lower specific activity of Na**+ , K**+ ATPase and loss of weight of submaxillary gland had close effect on salivary secretion.
