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

Figure 6

CrataBL attenuates inflammation, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix remodeling in the airways. Photomicrographs showing inflammatory markers: eosinophils and IL-5; remodeling markers: collagen fibers content and oxidative stress markers: 8-iso-PGF2α volume fraction in the airways. Scale bar represents 10 μm. All experimental groups are represented (n=8 per group): C, OVA, C+CR, and OVA+CR groups.
