Figure 4From: Inhaled salmeterol and/or fluticasone alters structure/function in a murine model of allergic airways diseaseTissue Scores. Peribronchial inflammation, epithelial thickening and injury. A) Semi-quantitative score for peribronchial inflammation. B) Semi-quantitative score for global epithelial damage. C) Quantitative epithelial thickness. Groups; naïve mice (N), OVA (O), and O mice with vehicle control (V), salmeterol (S), fluticasone (F), and a combination of fluticasone and salmeterol (FS). N = 4-6 mice in each group with 4 airways per mouse (averaged for each mouse/slide). Results expressed as mean ± SE. * p < 0.05.Back to article page
