The percentages of eosinophils (a), neutrophils (b), lymphocytes (c), monocytes (d) and basophils (e) in lung lavage fluid in the control, sensitized (S), sensitized pretreated with thymoquinone (S + TQ), sensitized pretreated with low-dose α-hederin (S + LAH) and high-dose α-hederin (S + HAH) guinea pigs (for each group, n = 15). Statistical differences between the control and different groups: ns, nonsignificant difference; +, p < 0.05; ++, p < 0.01; +++, p < 0.001. Statistical differences between pretreated groups vs. the sensitized group: NS, nonsignificant difference; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001
