SECRETORY CAPACITY OF PAROTID GLANDS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

The article presents data on the secretory activity of parotid glands of 51 patients, suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2, moderate severity of subcompensated and decompensated stages (29 and 22 patients, respectively). Results of the study revealed a reduction in gland's functional status and reduction of compensatory capacity, especially in patients with decompensated stage of diabetes. Daily instillation of "Lizomukoyid" to the ductal system of the parotid glands during 10 days allowed greatly increase production of parotid secretion and to increase the total amount of oral fluid.
