Wet/dry lung tissue weight ratio and number of cells in the BALF. LPS caused a significant increase in wet/dry weight ratio (A), total cell count (B), neutrophil count (C), and leukocyte count (D). Although the administration of LPS + EGCG caused a significant decrease in these parameters compared to the animal model of pneumonia, it also showed a significant difference with the control group. The lowercase letters presented on the bars describe the result of the statistical analysis, where different letters indicate significant differences between groups; the p-value < 0.05 was considered significant
