Figure 5

The effect of STZ-induced diabetes on histological observation in the salivary glands. C2 and C4 are the control groups; STZ2 and STZ4 are the diabetic groups; (a) parotid gland of the C2 rats; (b) submandibular gland of the C2 rats; (c) parotid gland of the C4 rats; (d) submandibular gland of the C4 rats; (e) parotid gland of the STZ2 rats; (f) submandibular gland of the STZ2 rats; (g) parotid gland of the STZ4 rats; (h) submandibular gland of the STZ4 rats; red circles indicate vacuoles.
