Salivary glands produce saliva, which contains various hormones and signaling molecules that play roles in oral health and digestion. Notably, hormones like epidermal growth factor (EGF) can promote tissue growth and repair, while others may influence the immune response in the oral cavity. Additionally, salivary glands are influenced by systemic hormones such as insulin and cortisol, which can affect saliva production and composition. Overall, the hormonal activity in salivary glands is crucial for maintaining oral and overall health.
