Expression levels of quinolinic acid in saliva from patients with Sjögren’s disease depending on clinical parameters (A–G). Correlations between UWSF and salivary quinolinic acid (H). Bars indicate the median and interquartile ranges. All statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test (A–G) and the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient test (H). ESSDAI: EULAR Sjogren’s syndrome disease activity index, ESSPRI: EULAR Sjogren’s syndrome patient-reported index. UWSF: unstimulated whole salivary flow, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
