Concentrations of IL-8, ICAM-1, and elastase activity in the ELF. Mean ± standard deviation. The concentration of IL-8 in the ELF was significantly higher in the TV6 group than in the TV12 group (p = 0.04) and the post hoc analysis revealed a significant difference at 6 h (p = 0.03). No significant difference was observed in ICAM-1 (p = 0.31) or elastase activity (p = 0.7) in the ELF
