Abstract
Conclusion: Structural changes in salivary gland parenchyma occurred relatively early after IR, whereas the alterations in salivary output were relatively delayed. Further, reductions in salivary flow were not proportional to acinar cell area loss. Together, these findings suggest that nonparenchymal IR damage likely contributes to IR-induced salivary hypofunction.
