Changes in alveolar albumin concentrations and cell numbers in both groups.

Time points	Group I (Propofol) No. = 25		Group II (Isoflurane) No. = 25
	albumin (μg/mL)	Cells (×10^6/mL)	albumin (μg/mL)	Cells (×10^6/mL)
𝑇0	20 (9)	0.07 (0.05)	19 (8)	0.06 (0.04)
𝑇1	101 (31)^†*	0.19 (0.09)^†*	51 (15)^‡*	0.11 (0.07)^‡*
𝑇2	121 (44)^†*	0.21 (0.10)^†*	78 (30)^‡*	0.12 (0.06)^‡*

Data are expressed as mean (SD). ^†𝑃<0.05 within the propofol group, ^‡𝑃<0.05 within the isoflurane group, *𝑃<0.05 between both groups.
