Herbal Formula, PM014, Attenuates Lung Inflammation in a Murine Model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Figure 2

The therapeutic effect of mixed herbs, PM014, and individual herbs. Lipopolysaccaride was administrated to mice to induce a disease that resembles COPD. The numbers of neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes, and total cells were determined in BAL fluid. Con: control, LPS: lipopolysaccaride, DXT: dexametasone, RG: Rehmannia glutinosa, PS: Paeonia suffruticosa, SC: Schizandra chinensis, AC: Asparagus cochinchinensis, PA: Prunus armeniaca, SB: Scutellaria baicalensis, SS: Stemona sessilifolia. Data are expressed as the mean number of cells ± S.E.M. (*𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 versus LPS; 𝑛=4-6).
