Mechanism involved in Danshen-induced fluid secretion in salivary glands

Figure 8 Effects of atropine and phentolamine on the Danshen-induced fluid secretion. The standard error of the means (mean ± SE) of the highest fluid secretion was shown in the DS only group (n = 9), the DS with atropine (n = 7), and the DS with phentolamine (n = 14). n shows the number of the glands employed. The values were expressed as percentage of the fluid secretion rate at 5 min with CCh as control. There was no significant differences (P > 0.5 vs control) among the 3 groups. DS: Danshen; CCh: Carbamylcholine.
