Effect of plant steroids and fluticasone on the adrenal and thymus gland indices in the cotton pellet-induced granuloma model.

Ligands	Adrenal index	Thymus index
Control	3.1 ± 0.2^a	22 ± 3^a
PC	4.9 ± 0.4	39 ± 2
PC-GA	4.9 ± 0.2	39 ± 2
PC-GS	4.4 ± 0.3	37 ± 2
PC-BA	4.3 ± 0.2	34 ± 3
PC-WA	3.9 ± 0.1	29 ± 1^a
PC-DG	4.3 ± 0.2	35 ± 3
PC-FC	3.3 ± 0.2^a	26 ± 1^a

Values were expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test. Results were considered significant if p values were less than 0.5. Results were considered significant if p values were less than 0.5. ^aSignificant compared to positive control (PC). PC-GA: PC treated with glycyrrhetinic acid; PC-GS: PC treated with guggulsterone; PC-BA: PC treated with boswellic acid; PC-WA: PC treated with withaferin A; PC-DG: PC treated with diosgenin; PC-FC: PC treated with fluticasone.
