Figure 4. Effects of BLG on the expression of TNF-α in guinea pig nasal mucosa.
The IOD and the area ratio of TNF-α was significantly increased in the AR group when compared with the normal control group (P < 0.01). The BLG and DEX treatment groups showed significant decrease when compared with the AR group (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05). Values were expressed as Mean ± SD (n = 10). *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus the AR group; ##P < 0.01 versus the control group.
