A complex quantitative histochemical investigation of the submandibular salivary glands in female albino rats at different age periods (4-5 month, 12 to 14 month- and 20 to 25 month-old) revealed some structural and functional changes during the oestrus cycle. The animals were grouped according to the age changes of the endocrine system. The salivary glands were sensitive to hormonal balance changes at all age periods but their metabolic interrelations varied. The functional changes in the salivary glands of young rats were accompanied by synchronous changes in the indices of energy, synthesis and transport metabolism. The gradual increase of disintegration of the endocrine system resulted in the uncoupling between the indices of the parenchyma and the microcirculation, as well as between nucleo-cytoplasmic relationships and intracellular transport processes in the salivary glands. That was a condition under which the impairment of cellularly excretory processes occurred (secretory stasis). The intercalated ducts and the striated tubules were especially sensitive to hormonal balance fluctuations which is consistent with the hypothesis of the endocrine nature of their function.
