Figure 3From: Nitric oxide exerts protective effects against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in miceThe n/i/eNOS−/−mice showed an increase in the number of inflammatory cell in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in a pulmonary fibrosis model at two weeks after BLM-treatment. (A) The total cell counts. (B) The macrophage cell counts. (C) The lymphocyte cell counts. (D) The total protein concentrations. White and black bars indicate normal saline- (n = 3) and BLM-(n = 5) treated mice, respectively. *P < 0.05 vs. BLM-treated WT mice.Back to article page
