a Representative H&E-stained section of lung tissue. b Histological scoring of inflammatory cell infiltration, c alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, and d foamy macrophage aggregates. Black, red, and blue arrows indicate inflammatory cell infiltration in the perivascular/parenchymal layer, alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, and foamy macrophage aggregates, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6 per group). #P ≤ 0.05; ##P ≤ 0.01 vs. VC. Scale bar 100 μm
