“Heat-map” inflammation-immune related genes in the lungs of mice fed the 3 assigned diets. Each column represents a mouse and each row a gene. Three distinct patterns of expression could be identified. Cluster I shows high expression only in the CS-exposed lungs of LY fed mice. Cluster II shows medium-expression of genes in air breathing, BC fed mice and the expression was suppressed by CS. The expression of the same cluster of genes was low in air breathing mice fed LY but was induced when the mice were exposed to CS. Cluster III shows similar expression in mice fed the basal or the BC-supplemented diet but the expression is reversed in the mice fed the LY-supplemented diet
