Evaluations of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid: total cells, eosinophils, lymphocytes, total proteins, H2O2, and proinflammatory (IL-5, IL-13, and IL-17A) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) interleukins. The animals were evaluated on day zero: control (C) and asthmatic (A); day 7: Control (7C), asthmatic (7A), and treated asthmatic (7TA); and day 14 after transplantation: control (14C), asthmatic (14A), and treated asthmatic groups (14TA). Significant results were found in both groups that received mesenchymal stem cell injection compared to the asthma groups. The results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.005; ***P < 0.001.
IL: interleukin.
