AQP5 immunostained sections of SMG shows, apicolateral localization (arrow) in control (A), and GA (C) groups, with apparent degradation and cytoplasmic translocation in DM (curved arrow) and little apicolateral expression (arrow) (B) (AQP5, IHC, × 40)). (D) Quantitative analysis of AQP5 immunostaining (%area) and fold change of AQP5 gene expression (E), Data were expressed in mean ± SE. P < 0.05 is considered significant. ****Significant compared to control group at P < 0.001, ####Significant compared to diabetic group at P < 0.0001.
