“…For generating pneumonia mouse models, four studies used C57BL/6 mice (Dai et al, 2018; Wang et al, 2016; Xu et al, 2015; Zhang et al, 2019), three studies used BALB/c mice (Bansal & Chhibber, 2010, 2014; Han et al, 2018), one study used CBA/J (Avasarala et al, 2013), one study used FVB/N (Xu et al, 2016) and one study used Kunming mice (Ye et al, 2014). Four studies only used female mice (Avasarala et al, 2013; Han et al, 2018; Wang et al, 2016; Xu et al, 2015) while the other studies used both male and female mice (Bansal & Chhibber, 2010, 2014; Dai et al, 2018; Xu et al, 2016; Ye et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2019). The mice were subcutaneously injected with curcumin at doses 10–150 mg/kg/day from 15 days before the intranasal inoculation of viruses or bacteria to several hours after the inoculation, depending on the study.…”
