Effect of indomethacin on the bradykinin-induced vasodilation in the submandibular gland.

Effects of the local infusion of bradykinin or isoproterenol were studied on the systemic blood pressure, blood flow, and vascular resistance of the submandibular gland before and after indomethacin treatment in cats. Both bradykinin and isoproterenol were shown to potently increase the glandular perfusion rate. The systemic arterial blood pressure fell by about 20% in response to indomethacin. The enhancement of blood flow by bradykinin or isoproterenol was not, however, affected by indomethacin treatment. The present results appear to suggest that the endogenous prostaglandins are not essentially involved in the development of responses produced by bradykinin or isoproterenol in the cat submandibular gland.

Effect of indomethacin on the blood flow of the rabbit submandibular gland.

Effects of the stimulation of the chorda tympani and acetylcholine infused into the artery of the gland were studied on the blood flow and saliva secretion of the rabbit submandibular gland before and after indomethacin treatment. The enhancement of blood flow and saliva secretion was less apparent after indomethacin than before. Results suggest that endogenous prostaglandins are also involved in the mechanism of the augmentation of blood flow and saliva secretion produced by the stimulation of the chorda tympani in the rabbit submandibular gland.
