Ixeris dentate (IXD) improves aging-induced salivary dysfunction. Water or IXD extract was given orally to young and aging rats for eight weeks. Saliva and the submandibular glands were collected on the sacrificing day. (A) Weight of submandibular glands (g), * p < 0.05 vs. young control rats; (B) Total saliva collected over 30 min, * p < 0.05 vs. young IXD 100 mg/kg group; (C) Salivary flow rate by submandibular gland weight (mL/SMG weight/30 min); (D) Salivary flow rate by submandibular gland weight per minute (µL/SMG weight/min). * p < 0.05 vs. young control rats, # p < 0.05 vs. old control rats.
