Fig. 5

Acute, but not subchronic, exposure to particle matter increases IL-6 in lungs. Animals were exposed to coarse (CP), fine (FP) and ultrafine particulate (UFP), or filtered air (FA). The protein interleukine-6 (IL-6) levels after a) acute (3 days, 5 h/day) and b) subchronic exposure (8 weeks, 5 h/day, 4 days/week), are shown as arbitrary units (AU). Scatter dot plot shows the value of the median. * indicates significant differences among groups (n = 4 per group, p < 0.05)
