Effects of Nano/NAC on inflammatory cell counts and cytokine levels in BALF. (A, B) Total cell and neutrophil counts in BALF. (C, D) TNF-α and IL-6 levels in BALF. The LPS group showed significantly higher cell counts and inflammatory cytokine levels than the control group. The LPS + NAC group showed significantly lower cell counts and inflammatory cytokine levels than the LPS group. The LPS + Nano/NAC group showed significantly lower cell counts and inflammatory cytokine levels than the LPS + NAC group. The data shown are expressed as the mean ± standard error (SE; n = 6 rats/group). **P < 0.05 versus the control group; *P < 0.05 versus the LPS group; #P < 0.05 versus the LPS + NAC group. Nano Nanoconstruct, NAC N-acetylcysteine, BALF Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, LPS Lipopolysaccharide.
