Morphometric Characteristics of the Parotid Glands in Immature Rats with Intestinal Dysbacteriosis

It is known that in some infectious diseases of the digestive system, the large salivary glands are also involved in the pathological process. In experimental modeling of dysbiosis in laboratory rats, increased adhesion of opportunistic microorganisms to intestinal epithelial cells was revealed. In connection with the above, the goal was to study the features of the morphological and functional differentiation of the major salivary glands in postnatal ontogenesis, as well as to find out the morphological criteria for their functional activity under the influence of intestinal dysbacteriosis.
