LEAL FILHO, Walter Borges et al. Effects of cigarette smoke on the morphology of the parotid gland of rats. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2013, vol.70, n.2, pp.209-213. ISSN 1984-3747.

The aim of this study was to determine the morphological changes in the parotid glands of rats exposed to cigarette smoke by histomorphometric analysis of serous acini. 14 male Wistar rats were divided into two groups were used. The animals of the experimental group were exposed to burning cigarettes 04 for about 30 minutes twice a day, six days a week over a period of 60 consecutive days. The control group were not exposed to cigarette smoke. Statistical analysis of the data showed that the area of the serous acini of the control group was significantly higher.
