Figure 6

The effect of C. longa on NO₂ (a), NO₃ (b), and MDA (c) concentration 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 mean ± SEM.  < 0.001, compared to group C. ⁺⁺⁺ < 0.001, compared to group A. ^# < 0.05, ^## < 0.01, ^### < 0.001, compared to group D. ^xx < 0.01, ^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.
