Involvment of estradiol and progesterone in total cells, mononuclear cells and neutrophils (A) and eosinophils (B) recovered in BAL of rats subjected to allergic lung inflammation. Estradiol (280 μg s.c., single dose) and progesterone (200 μg s.c., single dose) replacement was performed in OVx rats 24 h before the antigen challenge. Data are means ± SE from 5-8 experiments. ϕ P < 0.05 compared with the Sham-OVx allergic group; Δ P < 0.05 compared to the OVx group.
