abstract：:In the rat parotid gland, substance P has been shown to induce a phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate breakdown resulting in an inositol trisphosphate production. These data suggested that substance P activated a phospholipase C and thus mediated its effects through the calcium-phospholipid pathway. To determine which ne...
