Figure 2.

Effects of treatment with bark extract of Bathysa cuspidata (BCE 200 and 400 mg/kg, wt.) on index of lung edema determined by calculating the wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissue of Wistar rats with extrapulmonary acute lung injury induced by a single dose of paraquat (PQ, 30 mg/kg, wt, i.p). SAL, saline; PQ, paraquat; VE, vehicle (DMSO). The data are expressed as means ± SD. a,b,c Different letters in columns indicate statistical difference between the groups (P < 0.05) and groups that have some common letter do not differ statistically, anova followed by Tukey’s test.
