Fig. 9: Impact of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration on the mRNA expression of inflammation and apoptosis biomarkers in the whole salivary glands.

From: N-acetylcysteine supplementation did not reverse mitochondrial oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation in the salivary glands of hyperglycemic rats
