Figure 4From: The laminin β1-competing peptide YIGSR induces a hypercontractile, hypoproliferative airway smooth muscle phenotype in an animal model of allergic asthma YIGSR treatment increases allergen-induced fibrosis in the guinea pig lung. Hydroxyproline content in guinea pig lung after repeated saline- or ovalbumin-challenges in saline- and YIGSR-treated animals. ***P < 0.001 compared to saline-treated, saline-challenged controls. ##P < 0.01 compared to saline-treated, ovalbumin-challenged animals. Data represent means ± SEM of 5-7 animals.Back to article page
