Altered expression of sodium transporters and water channels in the submandibular gland of rats treated with nitric oxide synthesis inhibitors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A role of nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of sodium transporters and water channels in the salivary gland was investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with N(G) -nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 mg/L drinking water) for 1 week. The control group was supplied with normal tap water. The expression of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, type 2 Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC2), type 1 Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE1), α-subunit of epithelial sodium transporter (ENaC), and aquaporin-5 (AQP5) and aquaporin-1 (AQP1) proteins were determined in the submandibular gland by Western blot analysis. Following the treatment with L-NAME, the expression of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase α1-subunit, NKCC2, NHE1, and ENaC α-subunit increased significantly. On the contrary, the expression of AQP5 was significantly decreased, while that of AQP1 was not significantly altered. These findings indicate that the sodium transporters and water channels may be under a tonic regulatory influence of NO in the salivary gland.
