  Introduction: The submandibular gland is the largest salivary glands that secrete saliva. Starvation or food deprivation was found to influence all body metabolic activities that are reflected on the structure of many organs including salivary glands. Aim of the work: This work is aimed to study the possible histological, histochemical and ultrastructural changes of submandibular gland associated with long-term (7 and 14 days) food deprivation. Materials and Methods: Twenty young male cats were divided into 2 main groups. Group I: served as control, received solid diet for 7 and 14 days. Group II: animals were starved for 7 and 14 days. The cats were sacrificed and specimens from submandibular gland were taken for light and electron microscopic examination. Results: Light microscopic examinatio.. Read More»
