Acute WS exposure-induced changes in (a-i) bronchoalveolar lavage cytokine concentrations and (j-l) immune cell responses following Sham or OVX surgery. Analysis involved a two-way ANOVA, where (m) represented the corresponding P value for each variable (surgery, treatment, and interactions between surgery and treatment) that contributed to the alterations in cytokines and BALF cell levels, with P < 0.05 signifying statistical significance. Asterisks indicated significant mean differences among groups, as determined through multiple comparisons using Tukey’s post-hoc test: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. Each treatment group had a total of n = 8 mice. Mice across all groups were euthanized 24 h post-exposures
