Biletskyy D. Morphological and functional changes of the parotid salivary gland under the conditions of general dehydration in the age aspect (anatomical and experimental research)

The dissertation is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of morphological and functional alteration and chemical composition of the parotid salivary gland under conditions of influence of total dehydration on the organism in animals of different age groups, as well as to the possibility of correcting the revealed structural changes with the help of vitamin E. The dissertation is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of morphological and functional alteration and chemical composition of the parotid salivary gland under conditions of influence of total dehydration on the organism in animals of different age groups, as well as to the possibility of correcting the revealed structural changes with the help of vitamin E. After the completion of the rehabilitation period, the greatest restoration opportunities occurred in the parotid salivary glands of young and mature rats, but to a greater extent in animals of advanced age. Along with this, the parameters of the elemental composition of the parotid gland under the effect of the readaptation period were renewed best of all in the rats of mature age. When using vitamin E, the most corrective effect was observed in young and mature rats, that manifested itself in restoring the diameters of the microvasculature, acinus structures, mineral composition of the gland and dilation of the lumens of the ducts.
