Conclusion
In conclusion, we could confirm the expression of CGA in the equine submandibular gland. We consider that the salivary level as well as the plasma level of the CGA-LI can be a quantitative index for monitoring the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in physical and psychological stress of race horses.
