From: Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus rhamnosus treatment is as effective as budesonide at reducing inflammation in a murine model for chronic asthma

Figure 2

Beneficial bacteria and budesonide reduce the differential BAL fluid cell counts in chronic asthmatic mice. Pulmonary inflammation is represented by the influx of macrophages (M), lymphocytes (L), eosinophils (E) and neutrophils (N) in the BAL fluid. Differential cell counts are shown as percentages of the total cell count for each group. The charts show the mean, n = 6 mice/group. Statistical significance of differences was tested using post hoc Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test after one-way ANOVA. #Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to OVA/Sal-PBS mice. ¤Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to OVA/OVA-PBS mice. ‡Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to the OVA/Sal group in each treatment group. BUD = budesonide.
