The changes of AQPs mRNA in lung tissues from COPD rats.

Group	N	AQP1 mRNA	AQP4 mRNA	AQP5 mRNA
COPD	7	0.23±	0.62±0.31	0.20±
CDSCOPD	7	0.27±	0.46±	0.20±
MZPCOPD	7	0.42±	0.46±	0.50±
Control	7	1.00±0.00	1.00±0.00	1.00±0.00
F		65.25	9.08	60.24

Notes: The relative mRNA levels of AQP1, AQP4, and AQP5 in lung tissues were determined with quantitative RT-PCR with β-actin as internal control. Data was expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed with one-way ANOVA and LSD tests or Dunnett T3 test. < 0.01 versus control group.
