Rhodiola rosea extract inhibits thymus T-lymphocyte apop-tosis in mice. Groups of mice were treated with Rhodiola rosea extract and 8 h later challenged by caecal ligation and puncture for 24 h, followed by TUNEL analysis. Representative TUNEL images indicating thymus T-lymphocyte apoptosis in mice at 24 h after administration of Rhodiola rosea extract. (A) Normal control group; (B) sham-operated group; (C) control group; (D) treatment group. TUNEL, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling; magnification, x200.
