Table 1: AT-RvD1 and Dexamethasone treatment reduce apoptosis in submandibular glands from NOD/ShiltJ mice (raw data). NOD/ShiltJ mice were systemically injected via tail vein injections with the following treatments: (A) NaCl (0.9%), (B) AT-RvD1 (0.01-0.1 mg/kg) and (C) dexamethasone (DEX; 8.25 mg/Kg) 2 times a week for 14 weeks. At 18 weeks of age, submandibular glands were removed, frozen, and sections from were fixed and evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL). The results are from 3 biological replicates.

Raw data for TUNEL analysis.

Positive and negative rows indicate TUNEL experimental controls with and without DNase I respectively as indicated in the manufacturer's instructions. Positive and negative controls were performed in frozen mouse sub man dibular gland sections from C57BL/6 mice.
