Mean weight (± SEM) of 2 weeks ligated (2 weeks lig.), of 2 weeks ligated plus 3 days de-ligated (3 days del.) and unoperated (normal) adult submandibular glands. The 2 weeks ligated plus 3 days de-ligated gland (n=5) showed an increase in weight (p < 0.05) compared to the 2 weeks ligated (n=5), but were nevertheless half the typical weight of a normal gland (n=4).
