Figure 6From: Samsoeum water extract attenuates allergic airway inflammation via modulation of Th1/Th2 cytokines and decrease of iNOS expression in asthmatic miceEffect of SSEW on iNOS expression in lung tissues of OVA-induced mice. Lung tissues were homogenized and iNOS protein expression was determined using western blot analysis. (A) Expression of iNOS in the lung tissue. (B) Relative ratio: The relative levels of iNOS expression (normalized to β-actin) were quantified. NC, normal control group (vehicle); OVA, OVA-induced group (control); Mon, montelukast (30 mg/kg) + OVA-induced group (positive control); SSEW-100, SSEW (100 mg/kg) + OVA-induced group; SSEW-200, SSEW (200 mg/kg) + OVA-induced group. The values represent the mean ± S.E.M (n = 3/group). Significant differences at ##P < 0.01 compared with the NC group. Significant differences at *P < 0.05 compared with the OVA-induced group.Back to article page
