Figure 3

Concentrations and secretion rates of biomarkers of lung inflammation in athletes who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and those who had remained infection-free. No significant differences were found in secretory leucocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), salivary surfactant protein A (SP-A), salivary neutrophil Elastase-alpha-1-antitrypsin complex (NE-A1-AT). Concentrations and secretion rates for SP-A (n SARS-CoV-2 +  = 13; n SARS-CoV-2- = 15), SLPI (n SARS-CoV-2 +  = 14; n SARS-CoV-2- = 15) and NE-A1-At (n SARS-CoV-2 +  = 11; n SARS-CoV-2- = 6) are presented as geometric means ± S.D.
