The Effects of Proresolution of Ellagic Acid in an Experimental Model of Allergic Airway Inflammation

Figure 4

Effect of ellagic acid on P-selectin expression in the lung and IL-5 concentration in the BALF. Representative images of P-selectin immunohistochemistry staining of (A) control; (B) OVA + vehicle; (C) OVA + ellagic acid; (D) OVA + dexamethasone (a). The mean intensity of P-selectin staining was determined from image analysis and represented as arbitrary units (b). The analyses of lung ((a) and (b)) and IL-5 concentration in the BALF (c) were carried out in the resolution phase (at 21 days). Values represent the mean ± SEM (𝑛=4 per group). ^∗𝑃<0.05 compared with control group; ^#𝑃<0.05 compared with ovalbumin + vehicle group.
