Table 3

Number and types of inflammatory cells found in the liver.

	CG	OG	CSG	L25CSG	L50CSG
Total (cells/total area)			^a,b	^b	^c
Mononuclear (cells/total area)			^a,b	^b	^c
Polymorphonuclear (cells/total area)

CG: control group; OG: oil group; CSG: cigarette smoke group; L25CSG: lycopene 25 mg/kg/day and cigarette smoke group; L50CSG: lycopene 50 mg/kg/day and cigarette smoke group. a represents a significant difference between CSG when compared to CG; b represents a significant difference between CSG when compared to OG; c represents a significant difference when compared to CSG. The data were expressed as and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey posttest, animals per group ().
