DSE reduces the expression of iNOS protein in lung tissues of mice 48 h after the final OVA challenge. (A) iNOS protein expression in the gel. (B) Relative units of iNOS protein expression. Relative units are expressed as the relative ratio of iNOS to β-actin. 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
