Effects of sodium ions and monensin on amylase secretion from rat parotid cells
Authors:T Takuma  T Ichida
Abstract:The role of sodium ions in amylase secretion from rat parotid cells was studied using various Na+-free media and monensin. In a sucrose medium, amylase secretion was not stimulated by isoproterenol but was significantly stimulated by dibutyryl cAMP. In choline chloride and LiCl media, both isoproterenol and dibutyryl cAMP clearly evoked amylase release. Monensin itself elicited amylase secretion slightly, but significantly inhibited the secretion stimulated by isoproterenol or dibutyryl cAMP. The inhibitory effect of monensin was detectable even in choline chloride, LiCl and KCl media. These results indicate that sodium ions are not essential for amylase secretion from rat parotid cells and that the inhibitory effect of monensin is independent of influx of sodium ions or efflux of potassium ions.
