Abstract
Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing about 70 g were given a diet with 92.6% sorghum which had 7.7, 1.2 or 0.16% tannin. Within 3 days of starting on the diet with sorghum high in tannin the parotid glands had increased in size by about 3-fold and a series of proline-rich proteins were increased about 12-fold. There was no change in the submandibular glands. The proline-rich proteins induced by feeding on sorghum high in tannin were identical to those induced by 5 mg isoproterenol daily for 10 days. Binding curves for proline-rich proteins to tannins showed affinities 10-fold greater than bovine serum albumin and tannins
