Figure 2 EGb761 protects mice from pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin (BLM). (A) Protective effects of EGb761 on lung fibrosis induced by BLM were evaluated by Ashcroft score. Lung tissues from normal mice (B), BLM-treated group (C), low-dose EGb761 group (D), mild-dose EGb761 group (E), and high-dose EGb761 group (F) were stained with Masson stain; magnifications were 200×. All data are shown as mean±standard deviation (n=5). * P<0.05 vs. normal group; # P<0.05 vs. BLM group.
