Salivary Gland, Submandibular, Duct - Cytoplasmic Alteration

Image of cytoplasmic alteration in the submandibular salivary gland duct from a female B6C3F1 mouse in a chronic study
Normal submandibular salivary gland in a female B6C3F1 mouse from a chronic study. The arrow indicates a convoluted salivary gland duct.
Image of cytoplasmic alteration in the submandibular salivary gland duct from a male B6C3F1 mouse in a chronic study
Normal submandibular salivary gland in a male B6C3F1 mouse from a chronic study. The convoluted salivary gland ducts (arrow) contain more eosinophilic, cytoplasmic granules in males than in females (see Figure 1).
