Figure 3

The effect of C. longa on percentage of lymphocyte (a) and monocyte (b) in control animals (C), asthma group (A), and asthmatic groups treated with dexamethasone (D) and C. longa (CL) (0.75 mg/ml, 1.50 mg/ml, and 3.00 mg/ml) (for each group, n = 8). Data are presented as mean ± SEM.  < 0.05,  < 0.001, compared to group C. ⁺ < 0.05, ⁺⁺⁺ < 0.001, compared to group A. ^## < 0.01, ^### < 0.001, compared to group D. ^x < 0.05, ^xxx < 0.001, comparison among three concentrations of C. longa. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey-Kramer’s post-test.
