Punica granatum L. Leaf Extract Attenuates Lung Inflammation in Mice with Acute Lung Injury

Figure 2

Effect of the pretreatment with EAFPg on leukocyte accumulation into the lungs obtained from mice treated with saline (a), LPS (b), 30 mg/kg EAFPg plus LPS (c), 100 mg/kg EAFPg plus LPS (d), 300 mg/kg EAFPg plus LPS (e), or 5 mg/kg dexamethasone plus LPS (f). Leukocyte counts in the bronchial (g) and alveolar parenchyma areas (h). Data is expressed as mean ± SD. Significances were calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by the Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test analysis. differs from saline-treated mice; differs from vehicle-treated LPS-stimulated mice. Bronchiolar inflammatory cell infiltrates are shown as black arrows. Sections (4 μm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Magnification of 100x and 400x.
