Hypothalamic Control of Steno's Gland Activity in the Dog.
Abstract
The major objective of this investigation was to ascertain whether Steno's gland in the dog was superior to the salivary glands as an indicator of neural activity of the thermoregulatory neurones in the rostral brainstem. Although it is concluded from the results of the experiments that the secretion rate of Steno's gland is a thermoregulatory response, the fact that the magnitude of the response is low and variable renders it inferior to the salivary glands as a monitor of neurological activity.
