Figure 2

Effect of AG on AGEs level and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. (A) Shown are representative photomicrographs of Masson-stained sections of lung tissues from each group. Collagens were stained blue. Bar = 100 μm. Comparisons of AGEs level (B), Ashcroft score (C) and lung hydroxyproline content (D) among different experimental groups were presented. Data represent mean ± SD, n = 5 in each group,* p < 0.01 vs SA group; † p < 0.05 vs BLM group; ‡ p < 0.01 vs BLM group.
