Zusammenfassung: | Whole saliva from the mouth and secretions from individual salivary glands were examined by both light and electron histochemical techniques after precipitation. Results showed that the glycoproteins present in the secretions were unaltered by environmental conditions prior to exposure in the mouth. On entering the oral cavity, sialic acid, the major acid constituent, was rapidly removed from the carbo-hydrate-protein complex, followed by gradual loss of neutral carbohydrates which were metabolized by the bacteria. Electron microscopical evidence showed that during tasting periods these neutral carbohydrates were preferentially utilized before the naturally occurring intracellular polysaccharide within the bacteria.
Enzymic treatment of duct saliva with neuraminidase revealed that acid groups other than sialic acid were present and which were unaffected by hyaluronidase, pepsin or trypsin. It was evident that the neutral carbohydrates demonstrated in plaque matrix were not derived from saliva but from synthesized polysaccharides produced by bacteria from dietary sugar. It is suggested that the polypeptides from the glycoprotein are a constituent of the plaque matrix.
De la salive mixte et de la salive des diverses glandes salivaires sont étudiées par des méthodes d'histochimie aux microscopes optique et électronique. Les glycoprotéines des sécrétions sont inaltérées avant d'entrer dans la cavité buccale, où elles sont rapidement dégradées par soustraction d'acide sialique, suivie de perte progressive des glucides neutres. Un traitement enzymatique de salive isolée de glande salivaire démontre la présence de groupes acides autres que l'acide sialique.
Il semble évident que les glucides neutres, démontrés dans la matrice de la plaque, ne sont pas d'origine salivaire, mais proviennent des polysaccharides synthétisés par des bactéries, à partir des sucres alimentaires. Il apparait que les polypeptides des glycoprotéines sont un constituant de la matrice de la plaque.
Vollspeichel und Duktusspeichel aus den Speicheldrüsen wurden mit liecht- und elektronen-histochemischen Methoden untersucht. Glycoproteine in den Speichelsekreten blieben vor Eintritt in die Mundhöhle unverändert und wurden dort schnell durch Entzug von Sialinsäure und nachfolgendem graduellen Verlust neutraler Kohlenhydrate abgebaut. Die enzymatische Behandlung von Duktusspeichel bewies die Anwesenheit anderer Säuregruppen als Sialinsäure.
