AQP5 lung expression. Semiquantitative immunoblotting of membrane fractions prepared from lung tissue samples from rats in the groups venom (Vn, n = 8), dexamethasone + venom (Dx + Vn, n = 8), and control (Cont, n = 6). a Densitometric analysis revealing significantly lower AQP5 expression in the Vn and Dx + Vn groups. *P < 0.05 compared with Cont. b Immunoblots reacted with anti-AQP5, revealing a 35-kDa band. C1-C3 Immunohistochemical localization of AQP5 in lung parenchyma of rats in the groups Cont (C1), Vn (C2), and Dx + Vn (C3) at 60 min after envenomation (magnification, ×400)
