Baicalin Exerts Anti-Airway Inflammation and Anti-Remodelling Effects in Severe Stage Rat Model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Figure 9

Effects of baicalin on HPA axis function related factors. (a) ACTH; (b) corticosteroid; (c) CRH; (d) leptin. The data are shown as the mean ± the standard deviation (SD). p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 indicate a statistically significant difference compared to the model group; p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 indicate a statistically significant difference in model group compared with control group. HPA, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis; ACTH, adreno-cortico-tropic-hormone; CRH, corticotropin releasing hormone.
