The Plant Proteinase Inhibitor CrataBL Plays a Role in Controlling Asthma Response in Mice

Figure 3

CrataBL attenuates hyperresponsiveness to methacholine. Bar graph showing mean ± standard error values of the maximum response of respiratory system resistance (a) and elastance (b) after methacholine challenge (300 mg/mL) in the four experimental groups. Two independent experiments were conducted (n=8 per group per experiment) and for responsiveness measurements to methacholine, data were pooled, totaling n=16 per group. P<0.05 compared to C and C+CR groups, #P<0.05 compared to OVA group.
