The effect of STZ-induced diabetes on body weight, glycaemia, plasma insulin, and salivary gland weight [M (min–max)].

	C2	C4	STZ 2	STZ 4
Body weight (g)	278 (265–289)	335^# (301–345)	234 (215–256)	234 (201–256)
Glycaemia (mg/dL)	95 (91–97)	94 (91–97)	298 (274–302.7)	316.7^,# (301.7–340)
Insulin (mU/mL)	4.5 (3-4.7)	4.3 (2.9–4.6)	0.000	0.000
Parotid gland weigh (g)	0.064 (0.054–0.075)	0.09 (0.084–0.099)	0.06 (0.057–0.078)	0.051^,# (0.038–0.054)
Submandibular gland weight (g)	0.145 (0.115–0.177)	0.153 (0.15–0.155)	0.141 (0.102–0.159)	0.134 (0.93–0.144)

M: median; min: minimum; max: maximum; C2 and C4 are the control groups; STZ2 and STZ4 are the diabetic groups; STZ2 versus C2 or STZ4 versus C4: ; C4 versus C2 or STZ4 versus STZ2: .
