(a) SSTR2 expression in human gingival biopsies from periodontally inflamed and healthy sites. Mean ± SEM (n = 7 per group); * significant (p < 0.05) difference between groups. (b) SSTR2 protein in human gingival biopsies from periodontally inflamed and healthy sites, as analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Representative images of biopsies of one donor per group are shown. (c) SSTR2 expression in gingival biopsies of rats with ligature-induce periodontitis at 6 d, 8 d, 12 d and 20 d, as compared to control animals. Mean ± SEM (n = 4/group and time); * significantly (p < 0.05) different from control animals. (d) SSTR2 expression in gingival biopsies of obese and normal-weight rats. Mean ± SEM (n = 5); * significant (p < 0.05) difference between groups
