Abstract
Cold exposure of rats for 3 h (6 ± 2°C) caused an increase in amylase activity of the submaxillary gland. This effect was not observed in other salivary glands i.e. parotid and sublingual or in the pancreas. The increas of amylase activity during cold exposure was completely abolished by the β -receptor antagonist, propranolol, and the α-receptor antagonist, phenoxybenzamine, reduced the effect. Administration of actinomycin D to the cold-exposed rats produced a tremendous increase of enzyme activity instead of abolition of the increase as had been expected.
