Figure 1

Effects of orally administrated oseltamivir phosphate, PWE, PEE, 3,4-diCQA, and chlorogenic acid on the body weight of BALB/c mice infected with the IAV. (a) control (), oseltamivir (0.5 mg/kg; ■), 3,4-diCQA (50 mg/kg; ), (b) PWE (100 mg/kg; ▲), PEE (100 mg/kg; ), or chlorogenic acid (50 mg/kg; ) was administrated twice daily starting at 4 hours before the first viral infection until 5 days postinfection (5 dpi). The data represent the mean ± SE for the mice that survived. * < 0.05 and ** < 0.01 versus vehicle control.
