Abbreviations: BAL, bronchoalveolar lavage; CS, cigarette smoke; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; n, number of mice.

Total and differential cell counts in BAL fluids collected 24 h in mice exposed to an aerosol of LPS (30 min, 100 μg mL−1) or of saline (controls). Mice were orally treated with either vehicle (v:v) or AS111793 (10, 30, 100 mg kg−1) or roflumilast (3 mg kg−1), 1 h before LPS exposure. Results are presented as means ( × 103 cells)±s.e.m.

a

Nonsignificant compared with mice exposed to LPS and treated with vehicle.

###P<0.001 for mice exposed to LPS compared with mice exposed to NaCl.
