Brazilian Green Propolis: Anti-Inflammatory Property by an Immunomodulatory Activity
Figure 4
The cellular profile of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice with granulomatous inflammation. Swiss mice that were treated orally for six days with a daily dose of 5 mg/kg were compared to controls, which received apyrogenic water at the same intervals. After treatment, BALs were collected and the different cell-types were counted. (a) The number of cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice with granulomatous inflammation orally treated with extracts of propolis from Apis mellifera. (b) The percentage of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice with granulomatous inflammation orally treated with extracts of propolis from Apis mellifera. The data represent the mean ± SD of six animals/group. compared to control group. §Monocytes, compared to control. #neutrophils, compared to control. @lymphocytes, compared to control.
