Qingfei Tongluo Mixture Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Fibrosis through mTOR-Dependent Autophagy in Rats

Figure 2

QFTL reduces bleomycin-induced increases in proinflammatory mediators and profibrotic cytokines in rats. Serum concentrations of TGF-β (a), TNF-α (b), and IL-1β (c) in different treatment groups were measured using ELISA kits. TGF-β, transforming growth factor-β; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; data presented are means ± SD. vs. control; # vs. model; Δ vs. PFD.
