Fig. 4From: RNA-seq coupling two different methods of castration reveals new insights into androgen deficiency-caused degeneration of submaxillary gland in male Sprague Dawley ratsStatistical results of the percentage of acini and ducts as well as number of lipid vacuoles in SMG of male rats. Observe the decreased percentage of acini (A) and ducts (B) and increased number of lipid vacuoles (C) in SMG in ORC rats. While, IM rats only shown a moderate decrease in percentage of acini and ducts, and a moderate increase in lipid vacuoles in SMG. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ***P < 0.001; *P < 0.05Back to article page
