UA attenuate CS induced muscle atrophy in emphysema model rats. A Weights of musculi soleus and extensor digitorum longus. 40 mg/kg body weight UA administration attenuated CS induced musculi soleus loss. #p < 0.05 vs. Sham; *p < 0.05 vs. CS. B Morphological changes of musculi soleus. HE staining of musculi soleus showed muscle atrophy associate changes in CS, and these changes were alleviated by UA intervention, especially in UA20 and UA40. Sham (a), CS (b), UA10 (c), UA20 (d), and UA40 (e). UA: ursolic acid; CS: cigarette smoke (group); UA10: 10 mg/kg body weight UA administration group; UA20: 20 mg/kg body weight UA administration group; UA40: 40 mg/kg body weight UA administration group
