FIG. 3.

Analysis of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine in mice exposed to OVA or control (open shapes). One day after the last OVA challenge, airway function was evaluated by treating with 25 mg/mL nebulized methacholine. The average enhanced pause (Penh) for 3 min was used to compare the results from PBS-treated (gray) and A. yomena extract–treated (black) OVA-challenged groups using the unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test. Data are expressed as means±SEM (n=5–8).
