Effects of (EGFR-Her1) with continuous illumination on the immunohistochemical and histomorphometric changes of sublingual glands in male mice

Conclusions: Light has an indirect oxidative stress effects that causes oxidative damage to glands, which affects mucin secretion. Therefore, there was a decrease in diameter of acini sublingual glands of light group than control group, however, there was increase in the expression EGFR of sublingual glands in light group compare with control group as compensatory mechanism for oxidative stress in glands by light.
