( A ) Ers, Rrs and Rn in different groups challenged with aerosol Mch (mg/ml). ( B ) Representative images of HE-stained lung tissue. C. Cell classification (eosinophils, lymphocytes, and neutrophils) and counts in BALF. D. The levels of the inflammatory factors IL-4, TGFβ1 and IL-1β in the BALF. The data are shown as the means ± SEMs, n = 10. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Student–Newman–Keuls (SNK) method were used, and P < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. *p < 0.05 for the OVA group vs. the control group. # p < 0.05 for the SS-31 + OVA group vs. the PBS + OVA group. Above experiment was repeated three times.
