Abstract
In our study, it was shown that botulinum toxin A had an influence on the immunoreactivity of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in parotid glands. Participation of nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of secretion from the parotid gland of the rat seems to be likely. It might be assumed that the influence of botulinum toxin A on nNOS in the parotid gland of the rat is able to explain the sometimes longer duration of toxin effect at the neuroglandular junction than at the motor endplate.
