(A) Total number of cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages in BALF assessed by direct counting in hemocytometer. (B) Lung function measurement for tissue elastance (H, parenchyma stiffness), tissue damping (G, tissue resistance that reflects the peripheral airways), resistance (R, level of constriction in the lungs), elastance (E, stiffness of respiratory system), compliance (C, easiness with which respiratory system can be extended), and Newtonian resistance (Rn, reflects the resistance of central and conducting airways). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used. Values are expressed as mean ± SD; n = 6–12/group; *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001.
