Antiasthmatic Effects of Hesperidin, a Potential Th2 Cytokine Antagonist, in a Mouse Model of Allergic Asthma
Figure 2
Effects of HPN on total eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils in blood and total lung cells, total leucocytes, and eosinophils in BALF. As described in Section 2, whole blood was harvested 24 hrs after the last OVA challenge. Total inflammatory cell numbers in blood were counted, and cell classification was performed on a minimum of 200 cells to classify eosinophils and lymphocytes. Results are expressed as mean ± S.E (). Statistical significance between control and treatment groups was assessed by ANOVA (*, **, ***). : normal BALB/c mice, CT: Ovalbumin inhalation+vehicle, formoterol: OVA + formoterol (1 mg/kg), OVA + HPN (5, 1 mg/kg).
