Biomarker levels in LABW vs. BAL. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare levels of biomarkers in paired LABW vs BAL samples. Statistically significant differences as defined by P < 0.05 are indicated by a star. TCA, GCA, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p70, CCL2, CCL5, S100A8, and CCSP were higher in LABW compared to BAL. RAGE was lower in LABW compared to BAL. CA and S100A12 levels were not statistically different between LABW and BAL. Y-axes units are nM for bile acids and pg/ml for proteins
