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

Figure 5

Effects of the pretreatment with EAFPg on TNF-α (a), IL-10 (b), and albumin (c) levels in BALF of the animals divided into six groups. Animals were randomly distributed into five groups (/group). Mice received in the prophylactic scheme EAFPg (30 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, p.o.), dexamethasone (DEXA, 5 mg/kg, p.o.), or vehicle (PBS, p.o.). The values are presented as the mean ± SD. Significances were calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by the Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test analysis versus nonpretreated saline-injected mice () and versus nonpretreated LPS-installed mice ().
