Fig. 14From: Mitochondria protective and anti-apoptotic effects of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor and its ligands on the treatment of asthma in vitro and vivoInflammatory cells in BALF. Cell smears with Wright-Giemsa staining: The inflammatory cells were increased and aggregated on the BALF smear of OVA group, decreased and scattered after the treatment of the Dexamethasone. Both Ro5-4864 and PK 11,195 made a decrease and scatter of inflammatory cells on the BALF smear in OVA-treated mice. Cell counting: The total numbers of cells (106/ml) in the BALF are presented as mean ± SD. *p = 0.001 < 0.05 vs. Control group. **p = 0.001 < 0.05 vs. OVA group. Bar = 50 μmBack to article page
