Figure 5

(a) and (b) Representative examples of cleaved caspase-3 and mean±SEM of cleaved caspase-3 in lung lysates of the four groups of animals. *𝑃<0.05 compared with the saline group. ^##𝑃<0.05 compared with the LPS group. (c) Histogram showing the quantification of TUNEL-positive cells in the four experimental groups. TUNEL-positive cells were counted in 30 random fields and expressed as TUNEL-positive cells/HPF (400x). *𝑃<0.05 compared with the saline group. ^#𝑃<0.05 compared with the LPS group.
