Con (normal control group, ambient air inhalation, n = 10), ALI 6 h (ALI group, smoke inhalation for 6 h, n = 10), ALI 24 h (ALI group, smoke inhalation for 24 h, n = 10); data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus normal control group; #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 versus ALI 6 h group.
