ABSTRACT: Attention
was recently drawn to the production of D-glucose by salivary glands and its
concentration in the saliva of both normal and diabetic subjects. Likewise,
the identity and expression of selected transporters involved in the handling
of the hexose by salivary glands were recently investigated in both normal and
diabetic rats. In consideration of this information, the present report aims
at providing an integrated review on the physiopathology of parotid cell
energetics.
