Abstract
Parotin is considered by some authors a true hormone obtained from the striated ducts of the parotid gland [9, 12]. It is also known as parotin-P and can be found both in parotid saliva and in urine. Parotin has extremely specific effects on different tissues [5, 6, 8, 10, 11]. This is especially important, qualitatively and quantitatively, on long bones and their vascularization [1, 2] (Fig. 1).
