Ferroptosis Mediates Pulmonary Fibrosis: Implications for the Effect of Astragalus and Panax notoginseng Decoction

Figure 1

APD enhances recovery in pulmonary fibrosis mice: body weight, respiratory function, and lung index improvements. (a) Timeline diagram of experimental design (, ns indicates no significant difference). (b) The average weight change of each group of mice (n = 5). (c) On the 28^th day, the lungs were removed to observe tissue morphology. (d) Changes in the lung organ index of mice in each group (n = 5). (e–g) Cchord, IC, FVC, FRC, and TLC status of pulmonary fibrosis mice (n = 5). The data were obtained through three independent experiments. , vs. the control group; ^#, ^## vs. the model group.
