Curcumin Ingestion Inhibits Mastocytosis and Suppresses Intestinal Anaphylaxis in a Murine Model of Food Allergy
Fig 2
Curcumin ingestion inhibits the development of intestinal anaphylaxis and mastocytosis in BALB/c mice.
Mice were sensitized and challenged with OVA and some mice were gavaged with curcumin as depicted in Fig 1A. (A) Serum OVA-IgE levels (1:50 dilution of serum was used for the assay); (B) Percent of mice with diarrhea; (C) numbers of CAE+ jejunal mast cells; (D) and serum mMCP-1 levels are shown. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments. ** = p<0.01
