Short-term inhalation study: lung inflammation markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) immediately after final exposure to AM or LA for 10 days (5 days/week for 2 weeks; 6 h/day). Numbers in legend represent target mass concentrations (mg/m3). Values represent mean ± SE of BALF macrophages and neutrophils (top panels) and concentrations of ALP, LDH, protein, and NAG in BALF supernatant (middle and lower panels) (n = 7 rats/group). P < 0.05 † vs. all other groups; * vs. air control; # vs. LA 0.5; ‡ vs. AM 3.5
