3 Fig 2 Sputum eosinophil percentages after budesonide (Bud) treatment in comparison with that after combined budesonide-simvastatin treatment (Bud+simvas). Results are expressed as medians (interquartile ranges), and Mann-Whitney P values are presented.

4 Fig 3 Gene expressions (mRNA) as indicated after inhaled budesonide (Bud; A) and combined budesonide-simvastatin treatment (Bud+simvas; B). Percentages of macrophages expressing IDO, NF-κB p52, and GITRL (C and D) are shown. Results are expressed as medians (interquartile ranges), and Mann-Whitney P values are presented.

5 Fig 4 A, IDO activity after treatment with budesonide (Bud) and combined budesonide-simvastatin therapy (Bud+simvas). B and C, Correlation between IDO activity and sputum eosinophil count after budesonide (Fig 4, B) and combined budesonide-simvastatin treatment (Fig 4, C) are also shown. Results are expressed as medians (interquartile ranges), and Mann-Whitney P values are presented.

6 Fig 5 Association between IL-10 and IDO activity and sputum eosinophil count. Nuclear translocation of NF-κB p52 (A) and NF-κB p65 (B) Spearman rank correlation between sputum IL-10 and IDO activity (C and D) and absolute eosinophil counts (E and F) are shown. Results are expressed as medians (interquartile ranges), and Mann-Whitney P values are presented.
