  • Pilocarpine-induced salivation and thirst in conscious rats

Interestingly, pilocarpine, which is used as a sialogogue for the treatment of dry mouth, induces drinking behavior though muscarinic receptors in the central nervous system when applied peripherally. Although studies from anesthetized rats suggested that the pilocarpine administration affects the central nervous system and modulates salivary secretion, the mechanism is not clear. In this experiment, pilocarpine was applied intracerebroventricularly (ICV) or intraperitoneally (IP) in conscious rats, and salivary secretion and water intake were measured. IP-injected pilocarpine increased salivary secretion at 0.4-12 μmol/mL/kg and water intake at 1.2-12 μmol/mL/kg, in dose-dependent manners. Atropine injected by ICV in advance suppressed the pilocarpine-induced water intake while it did not the salivary secretion. Further, ICV-injected pilocarpine increased water intake in a dose-dependent manner while it had no effects on salivary secretion. Atropine injected by ICV in advance blocked the water intake by ICV pilocarpine. These results suggest that while peripherally-applied pilocarpine acts centrally the thirst center and induces drinking behavior, the central action is not enough to modulate salivary secretion in conscious rats.
