Isolation And Chemico-Physiologic Characterization Of A Parotid Hormone Activity From Porcine Glands, Jean-Marc Tieche Sep 1978

Isolation And Chemico-Physiologic Characterization Of A Parotid Hormone Activity From Porcine Glands, Jean-Marc Tieche

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

For the past decade, evidence has accumulated which suggests that the resistance of the teeth to dental decay is in part under systemic control. It was shown that the resistance is accomplished through the optimal operation of a dentinal fluid transport mechanism which is believed to be hormonally controlled by the hypothalamic-parotid gland endocrine axis. Although circumstantial evidence for such an endocrine function was strong, the isolation of a parotid hormone which stimulates the dentinal fluid transport mechanism remained to be accomplished.

Using modern biochemical techniques, a methodology was designed to isolate and purify the hormone from porcine parotid glands. …
