The Alexipharmic Mechanisms of Five Licorice Ingredients Involved in CYP450 and Nrf2 Pathways in Paraquat-Induced Mice Acute Lung Injury
Figure 2
Lung histological examination from H&E staining. Histological appearance of the lung sections from the (a) normal group, (b) model group, (c) DXMS group, (d) licorice extract (20 mg/kg), (e) licorice extract (40 mg/kg), and (f) licorice extract (60 mg/kg). Widespread thickening of the alveolar septum and infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in the model group. Treatment with licorice extract reduced the histological alterations induced by PQ. The lung sections were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining (magnification is ×400).
