DSE reduces mucus production in lung tissues of mice 48 h after the final OVA challenge. (A) Histological examination of mucus secretion in lung tissue with periodic acid Schiff (PAS) (magnification x200). (B) Quantitative analysis of mucus production in lung sections. NC, normal control mice treated with PBS only; OVA, OVA-sensitized/induced mice; Mon, montelukast (30 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/induced mice; DSE-100, DSE (100 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/induced mice; DSE-200, DSE (200 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/induced mice. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6/group). ##Significantly different from NC, P < 0.01; **Significantly different from OVA, P < 0.01
