Airway inflammatory cell differentials at baseline and 4 hours after HFM.

	Baseline		4 hr
	CON ()	EX ()	CON ()	EX ()
	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD
Total cell counts (×10^6/L)	Range: 2.0–2.6		Range: 2.0–2.4
Percentage of macrophages	28.9 ± 11.8	38.1 ± 15.1	26.9 ± 13.4	28.7 ± 9.3
Percentage of neutrophils	61.3 ± 15.8	53.3 ± 16.8	64.8 ± 10.	64.5 ± 15.
Percentage of eosinophils	0.3 ± 0.4	0.5 ± 0.5	0.5 ± 0.	0.5 ± 0.
Percentage of basophils	1.3 ± 1.4	0.9 ± 0.8	0.4 ± 0.5	0.8 ± 0.9
Percentage of lymphocytes	8.6 ± 4.7	7.7 ± 5.7	7.6 ± 3.7	7.6 ± 4.7

Airway inflammatory cell differentials in CON and EX at baseline and 4 hr after HFM. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Asterisks indicate that there was a significant increase in percentage of pulmonary neutrophils and eosinophils from baseline to 4 hours after HFM (). There were no significant differences between CON and EX ().
