Effects of ozone exposure on lung inflammation in control mice. Total protein concentration (A), total cell count and neutrophil count (% × 1 000) (B) in BAL fluid and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (C) in lung homogenates were measured as markers of pulmonary inflammation. Ozone-exposed groups were exposed to air containing 2 ppm ozone continuously for 3 h. Parameters were evaluated 24 h after exposure. Data are presented as means ± SD. *p < 0.05, when compared with non-exposed mice (n = 10 in control group and n = 8 in ozone-exposed group). BAL: bronchoalveolar lavage; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha; IL1β: interleukin 1 beta; IL6: interleukin 6
