What's the difference between salivant and sialagogue?
Salivant
Definition:
(a.) Producing salivation.
(n.) That which produces salivation.
Example Sentences:

(11) Post-operative complications included clenching of teeth in 5 patients, vomiting in 2 and excessive salivation in 3.
(12) When blood enzyme activities were 70-100% normal, no obvious signs were seen; at 60-70%, salivation occurred; at less than 30-55%, disturbed ventilation and fasciculations were seen, and at 15-30%, convulsions occurred.
(13) Furthermore, acute administration of large doses of pyridostigmine results in salivation and gastrointestinal stimulation well in advance of any impairment of respiratory function.
(14) The salivation was frequently stimulated with citric acid solution, then parotid saliva and mandibular-sublingual saliva were collected separately by means of permanent fistulae.
(15) These results suggest that two distinct neural pathways exist which mediate reflex salivation in the lower brain stem of the rat, i.e., the taste pathway via the NTS and the nociceptive pathway via the trigeminal sensory nuclei.
(16) Five to 10 min after the drug administration, the camels at both dosages showed lacrimation, salivation, trembling, restlessness, frequent urination and defecation, followed by diarrhea.
(17) Adverse effects, such as abdominal colic, nausea, salivation, dizziness, and headache, were seen in almost all the patients in those two groups.
(18) Among the methods of treatment the most severe inhibition of salivation was noted in the group treated with amitriptyline, the least--after NDULECT.
(19) Further, in cats pretreated with ICV reserpine and 6-hydroxydopamine, but not with ICV 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine and hemicholinium, the salivation caused by ICV TRH was abolished.
(20) The results indicate that vasopressin, angiotensin II and neurotensin inhibit the action of substance P on salivation at sites other than the parotid cells.
Sialagogue
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) When rat parotid explants were cultured on siliconized lens paper floating on chemically defined 199 medium, all of sialagogues tested increased ornithine decarboxylase activity, which was roughly proportional to the amylase released into the culture medium.
(2) To alleviate some of the complications due to salivary dysfunction in those patients who respond to stimuli, pharmacologic sialagogues as well as sialagogues that include sugarless gums, mints and candies are prescribed in order to increase salivary flow.
(3) The submandibular glands in 100 rats were subjected to different sialagogues: carbachol, clonidine, noradrenalin, and cyclocytidine.
(4) The mechanism of a sialagogue-induced increase in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and the expressions of proto-oncogenes in murine parotid gland were investigated by use of isoproterenol (IPR), carbachol (CC), and methoxamine (MTX).
(5) The rise in activity was completely blocked by the simultaneous addition of antagonists or actinomycin D. These results suggest that receptor-mediated stimulation of ornithine decarboxylase activity by sialagogues involves alterations in the level of mRNA and that the proliferative responses of human parotid cells to these sialagogues resemble those of the murine parotid gland.
(6) Appropriate management of patients with xerostomia requires that those patients whose salivary flow can be increased by means of sialagogues be distinguished from those patients whose salivary flow is either unaffected or insufficiently stimulated.
(7) This paper confirmed the sialagogue supersensitivity to adrenergic drugs related to an increase in alpha 1-adrenoceptors in the submandibular glands of haloperidol injected rats.
(8) The increases were roughly proportional to those in ODC activity, suggesting that sialagogue-dependent enzyme induction is regulated at the transcriptional level.
(9) The above findings suggest that the sialagogue response induced by L-dopa may be due to the interaction of this agonist with D1 striatal receptors, whose activity is not influenced by estrogens.
(10) Castration did not modify the sialagogue response to L-dopa, while the turning behavior was significantly increased.
(11) Synergistic sialagogues were used with the hope that an increase in salivary production would mediate an improvement in taste and smell.
(12) The effects of sub-chronic cadmium (Cd) administration on the structure and subsequent secretory responses of the submaxillary and parotid glands to sialagogues were investigated.
(13) These results indicate that both adrenergic and cholinergic sialagogues stimulate the syntheses of polyamines and DNA in murine parotid gland.
(14) Both beta-adrenergic (isoproterenol) and cholinergic (carbachol) sialagogues increase amylase secretion, ornithine decarboxylase activity and DNA synthesis in murine parotid gland in vivo and in vitro.
(15) To induce experimentally a complete depletion of granular serous cells, cyclocytidine was found to be an excellent choice as a sialagogue with no side-effects on the cardiac and respiratory system.
(16) Time course experiments showed that sialagogue-stimulated protein phosphorylation preceded the increase of ornithine decarboxylase activity and had almost disappeared when it was maximal.
(17) These increases were all transient, with the levels returning to the control values (without sialagogue) within 60 min.
(18) Ornithine decarboxylase in a human parotid gland adenocarcinoma cell line was induced by both cholinergic (carbachol) and beta-adrenergic (isoproterenol) sialagogues.
(19) Patients with acute sialadenitis will usually respond to vigorous intravenous (IV) hydration, use of sialagogues and appropriate antibiotic coverage.
(20) The sialagogue response of the submandibular glands of the rats to methacholine was enhanced by chronic administration of haloperidol.
