Cell analysis and cytokine concentration in BALF following intratracheal instillation of polypropylene. Total cell counts in BALF (A). Neutrophil count in BALF (B). Percentage of neutrophils in BALF (C). LDH activity in BALF (D). Concentration of CINC-1 in BALF (E). Concentration of CINC-2 in BALF (F). Concentration of HO-1 in BALF (G). Inhalation exposure of polypropylene induced persistent influx of inflammatory cells and expression of CINC-1, CINC-2, and MPO in BALF from 1 month after instillation. Data are presented as mean ± SD for n = 4–5/group (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01)
