A little background on the Salivary Glands... The tongue, cheeks, and palate (the hard and soft areas at the roof of the mouth) contain many glands that produce saliva. In saliva there are enzymes, or catalysts, that begin the breakdown (digestion) of food while it is still in the mouth. The glands are called salivary glands because of their function. There are three big pairs of salivary glands in addition to many smaller ones. The parotid glands, submandibular glands and sublingual glands are the large, paired salivary glands. The parotids are located inside the cheeks, one below each ear. The submandibular glands are located on the floor of the mouth, with one on the inner side of each part of the lower jaw, or mandible. The sublingual glands are also in the floor of the mouth, but they are under the tongue. Ref: http://www.ehendrick.org/healthy/002167.htm

Chlorodifluoromethane - Insecticide, Fungicide, Propellant - CAS No. 75-45-6

-- Groups of 80 male and 80 female Alderley Park Wistar-derived rats (age unspecified) were exposed by inhalation to 0 (2 groups), 1000, 10,000 or 50,000 ppm (0, 3540, 35,400 or 177,000 mg/cu m) chlorodifluoromethane (CFC 22; purity >99.8%) for 5 hr/day, on 5 days/wk for up to 118 (females) or 131 (males) wk, by which time approx 80% of animals had died. Body-wt gain was reduced in high-dose males up to wk 80. Treatment did not affect number of animals with benign tumors. Among males, the proportions of animals with malignant tumors were higher in treated groups (controls, 16/80 & 18/80; low-dose, 27/80; mid-dose, 22/80; high-dose, 33/80), due primarily to increases in incidences of fibrosarcomas (controls, 5/80 & 7/80; low-dose, 8/80; mid-dose, 5/80; high-dose, 18/80). The numbers of animals in which such tumors involved the salivary glands were, 1, 0, 1, 0 & 7, respectively. The increase in the overall incidence of fibrosarcomas occurred between weeks 105 & 130. In addition, 4 high-dose males had Zymbal-gland tumors, whereas no such tumor was found in males of the other groups. No increased incidence of malignant tumors was observed in treated females.

-- TSCA Test Submissions: Oncogenicity was evaluated in male and female Alderley Park rats (80/sex/group) exposed to chlorodifluoromethane via inhalation at 0 (2 groups), 1000, 10,000 and 50,000 ppm for 5 hrs/day, 5 days/week for 27-30 months. The only reported finding of significance was an increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms, due mainly to fibrosarcoma of the salivary gland in both sexes at 50,000 ppm. The incidence of these tumors was significant only after 25 months. This preliminary report did not contain information concerning the histopathological results of the study.

PFOS - Insecticide, US EPA List 3 Inert

Adverse signs of toxicity observed in Rhesus monkey studies included anorexia, emesis, diarrhea, hypoactivity, prostration, convulsions, atrophy of the salivary glands and the pancreas, marked decreases in serum cholesterol, and lipid depletion in the adrenals. The dose range for these effects was reported between 1.5-300 mg/kg/day. No monkeys survived beyond 3 weeks into treatment at 10 mg/kg/day or beyond 7 weeks into treatment at doses as low as 4.5 mg/kg/day.

1995 Abstract: Summary: The effect of various concentrations of NaF on human salivary amylase was studied. Sodium fluoride was found to inhibit the enzyme when the fluoride concentration was at and above 5 x 10-2 M.

1988 Abstract: The effect of NaF on cAMP accumulation, cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity (cAMP-dPK) ratios and [14C]-glucosamine-labelled mucin release from these isolated cells was investigated. NaF (0.01-5 mM) increased significantly the cellular cAMP concentration and cAMP-dPK activity ratios in a dose- and time-dependent manner. NaF (5.0 mM) increased [14C]-glucosamine-labelled mucin release in a time-dependent manner. Thus the stimulation of prelabelled mucin secretion by NaF is mediated by an increase in the cAMP concentration, which exerts its effect, at least partly, via the activation of cAMP-dPK activity.

1984 Abstract: Summary: This study examined the effect of intakes of 25 or 50 ppm fluoride via drinking water for four weeks on the amylase activity of the parotid gland, isoproterenol-stimulated (1 mg/100 g b.w., i.p.) salivary flow and on the amylase activity in saliva fractions. A significant elevation of the tissue amylase activity was seen in the F25 and F50 groups compared to control. The volume of saliva collected for 30 min after isoproterenol injection was higher in the fluoride-treated groups; the amylase activity was also increased. In the glandular tissue cAMP level was augmented. It appears that fluoride may affect the parotid function; it may also influence the salivary amylase activity, presumably by acting on the adenyl cyclase activity.

1982 Abstract: One to 10 ppm fluroide added to drinking water enchance the activity of carbonic anhydrase in the submandibular salivary gland of rats. With 25 ppm fluoride in drinking water, the fluoride content of the parotid gland increased considerably. It is concluded that fluoride affects the function of the salivary gland.
