Anti-Inflammatory, Immunomodulatory, and Heme Oxygenase-1 Inhibitory Activities of Ravan Napas, a Formulation of Uighur Traditional Medicine, in a Rat Model of Allergic Asthma
Figure 3
Effect of Ravan Napas (RN) on pulmonary inflammation in OVA-induced rat model of asthma. Lung tissues were obtained on the day after the last OVA challenge. Tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E, 400x) (a). The inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung tissues was scored as described in the method section (b). Normal: rats sensitized with OVA and challenged with saline. Control: rats sensitized and challenged with OVA. DXM: OVA-sensitized and challenged rats treated with Dexamethasone (10 mg/kg). RN-1: OVA-sensitized and challenged rats treated with RN (0.25 g/kg/day). RN-2: OVA-sensitized and challenged rats treated with RN (0.5 g/kg/day). Data are expressed as , rats per treatment group. versus Normal; versus Control.
