FIGURE 3.

Intact parasympathetic innervation promotes the recovery of gland function. (A) Immunofluorescence (IF) of aquaporin 5 protein (AQP5) and DAPI (blue) in the gland of non‐treated, innervation and denervation groups at 0, 7, 14 and 28 days after deligation. Scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Relative IF expression levels of AQP5 at different times. (C) AQP5 mRNA levels in different groups. *** indicates significance at P < .001, ** P < .01, * P < .05, ns for no significant. Data were shown as mean ± standard deviation
