AXT alleviated CS combined with CSE -induced pulmonary emphysema

(A): HE‑staining of lung tissue: (1) control group, (2) CS exposure combined CSE intraperitoneal injection (CSE) group, (3) CS exposure combined CSE intraperitoneal injection + 10 mg/kg body weight of AXT (CSE + L-AXT), (4) CS exposure combined CSE intraperitoneal injection + 50 mg/kg body weight of AXT (CSE + M-AXT), and (5) CS exposure combined CSE intraperitoneal injection + 100 mg/kg body weight of AXT (CSE + H-AXT); (B): Morphometric measurements of mean linear intercept (MLI) (µm); (C): Morphometric measurements of mean alveolar area (MAA) (µm2); (D): The weight of mice in each groups; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001
