Figure 4

Effects of binge drinking (EtOH administration) during adolescence on the parotid and submandibular gland immune expressions. Anti-α muscle actin (α-SMA), anticytokeratin-18 (CK-18), and vimentin (VIM) positive cells of female Wistar rats after 1-week and 4-week exposure to ethanol in control group (1 and 3, at 1 week and 4 weeks, in each group) and ethanol (2 and 4, at 1 week and 4 weeks, in each group). The results were expressed as mean ± SEM. compared to control group (Mann-Whitney U test), compared to control group (Mann-Whitney U test).
