Protective effect of the IGEs against lethal IAV challenge to Balb/c mice. The mice were infected with intranasally with an influenza virus strain A/FM/1/47 solution and then treated with IGEs for 5 days. The body weight changes were determined by measurements taken 0, 4 8, 11, and 14 days post-infection, and the number of deaths in each group was recorded for 14 consecutive days (n = 20). (A) Body weight change curves for the 14 consecutive days. (B) Survival rate of the IAV- infected mice treated with IGEs (20, 10, 5 mg/kg) for 14 consecutive days. (C) IGEs treatment increased the survival time (days) of mice in a dose-dependent manner, ##p < 0.01 compared to the virus control group.
