Table 2. Quantification of histopathology.

	Damage	Congestion and edema	PMN infiltration
Buffer control	0.1 ± 0.0	0.6 ± 0.2	0.2 ± 0.1
Salmonella	1.1 ± 0.3*	2.3 ± 0.5*	1.7 ± 0.4*
Salmonella + baicalein	0.7 ± 0.2†	1.3 ± 0.2†‡	0.8 ± 0.2†‡

Quantification of histopathology associated with protection from S. typhimurium-induced tissue damage by pretreatment with 1μM baicalein. Data are mean ± SEM of 6-10 grafts per group (P < 0.05).

^*Significant differences between buffer control and S. typhimurium

^†Buffer control and S. typhimurium plus baicalein (12-LO inhibitor).

^‡S. typhimurium in the absence and presence of baicalein.
