(A) Macmoondongtang controlled base membrane thickening caused by epithelial cell hyperplasia, inflammatory infiltration near bronchiole and vessel, mucous hypersecretion, and other changes based on H&E staining. (B) Macmoondongtang dose-dependently suppressed mucous secretion based on PAS staining. a, vehicle control; b, asthma induction; c, dexamethasone; d,150 mg/kg/day macmoondongtang; e, 1500 mg/kg/day macmoondongtang. Br, bronchioalveolar region; V, vessel. Scale Bar = 50 μm. Magnification, ×200.
