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

Figure 6

Effects of the pretreatment with EAFPg on the numbers of total leukocytes (a), neutrophils (b), or macrophages (c) in BALF and total leukocytes in the lungs. 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, 10 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 ().
