“Reserpine, isoproterenol, and pilocarpine cause an increase in the calcium concentration in submandibular gland acinar cells, due to an increased calcium content of the intracellular mucus.”
“b) With pilocarpine stimulation, the concentration of Ca increased in the cytoplasm and decreased in the secretory granules, while there was an increase in the concentration of Na and Cl in both the cytoplasm and secretory granules of the cells. (”

“Analysis of fractions separated by differential centrifugation from submandibular gland reveals that the fall in gland calcium induced by the administration of pilocarpine is explained bychanges in the most easily sedimentable fraction (400 x g ) and in the supernatant fraction.”
