Abstract
⺠The orexinergic system is expressed differently among major salivary glands of pigs. ⺠Prepro-orexin mRNA was more expressed in the sub-mandibular gland. ⺠Immunoreactivity for orexins and receptors were identified only in the sub-mandibular gland. ⺠Striated ducts and parasympathetic neurons and axons of gland ganglia were positive.
