Effect of biologically active fraction of Nardostachys jatamansi on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis

Figure 3 Effects of the 4th fraction of Nardostachys jatamansi on inflammatory events in the pancreas after pancreatitis. A: Representative hematoxylin-eosin stained sections of the pancreas in the control mice not administered cerulein, in mice given cerulein, and in mice given Nardostachys jatamansi (NJ) (1 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, or 10 mg/kg) 1 h before the first cerulein injection; B: Neutrophil infiltration was assessed on the basis of myeloperoxidase activity. This figure shows representative images of 1 experiment that involved 6 mice. The results were similar in 3 additional experiments. ^aP < 0.05 vs the saline treatment; ^cP < 0.05 vs cerulein treatment alone. Original magnification: × 100. AP: Acute pancreatitis.
