Immunocompromised people and people with autoimmune diseases have an increased risk of developing certain types of blood cancer.
The 1973 discovery of lingual lipase, which is secreted by lingual serous glands and hydrolyzes medium-and long-chain triglycerides in the stomach, has renewed interest in the gastric phase of fat digestion.he 1973 discovery of lingual lipase, which is secreted by lingual serous glands and hydrolyzes medium-and long-chain triglycerides in the stomach, has renewed interest in the gastric phase of fat digestion.
INTRODUCTION Von Ebner's lingual salivary glands are branched, tubuloalveolar, serous glands that secrete through multiple ducts into the clefts of the circumvallate and foliate papillae 3,24,31.oreover, 80% of the lingual taste buds are con-tained in the circumvallate and foliate papillae in the rat 21. Thus, the von Ebner's glands could play an im-portant role in taste transduction in the majority of lingual taste buds. There are very few studies on the properties of sa-liva from von Ebner's glands.
