Oral administration of HJE alleviated B(a)P-induced lung injury in mice. C57BL/6J mice were fed either NHJE or HJE at two different doses, 0.75 g/kg BW or 1.5 g/kg BW, every day for 14 days. One day prior to sacrifice, B(a)P was given by intraperitoneal injection. (A) Experimental scheme. (B) Changes in average body weight during the experimental period. Values are means ± standard deviation (SD) (n = 8 mice per group). (C) Representative photographs of the dissected lungs. (D) Representative tissue sections stained with H&E (magnification, 40×). A, alveolar sac; AD, alveolar duct; B, respiratory bronchiole; TB, terminal bronchiole; bv, blood vessel. NHJE, non-hydrolyzed jujube extract; NHJE-L, NHJE at a low dose (0.75 g/kg BW); NHJE-H, NHJE at a high dose (1.5 g/kg BW); HJE, hydrolyzed jujube extract; HJE-L, HJE at a low dose (0.75 g/kg BW); HJE-H, HJE at a high dose (1.5 g/kg BW).
