Figure 1

Effect of telmisartan (TELM; 10 mg/ kg/ day, for 5 weeks), praziquantel (PZQ; 500 mg/ kg/ day, for 2 consecutive days), and their combination on the serum levels of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in ng/ml of Schistosma mansoni -infected mice sacrificed at the 10th(set 1) and 15th(set 2) weeks post infection. All values are mean ± S.E.M. Significantly different (P<0.05) # versus normal non-infected group, * versus infected control group and @ versus TELM-treated group.
