Effects of SGYF on body weight and lung index were evaluated. For histological evaluation of lungs injury and fibrosis, lung specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE) and Masson trichrome.Body weight and lung index from various groups were measured, and the concentrations of monoamine(MAO) and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) were also detected in lung homogenates.Results: SGYF attenuated the bleomycin-induced weight loss and the lung index. Histologica levidence showed the ability of SGYF to decrease bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and consolidation. SGYF reduced MAO and TGF-β1 activity in lung tissues.Conclusions: These findings suggest that SGYF may be a promising candidate to prevent bleomycininduced lung damage or other interstitial lesions.展开更多
