CPEE reduces the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 proteins in lung tissues of mice.
NC; normal control mice treated with PBS only; OVA; OVA-sensitized/challenged mice; Mon; Montelukast (30 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/challenged mice; CPEE-1; CPEE (100 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/challenged mice; CPEE-2; CPEE (200 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/challenged mice. Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6/group). *Significantly different from NC, P<0.05; †significantly different from OVA, P<0.05.
