Parotid gland enlargement was induced in rats by incorporating non-nutritive bulk into the stock diet. The magnitude of gland enlargement was directly correlated to the percentage of bulk in the diet. The protein concentration of parotid saliva was increased, but the composition of secretory proteins was not noticeably affected.
