Abstract: | Background Respiratory symptoms, impaired lung function, and asthma have been reported in workers exposed to wood dust in a number of
epidemiological studies. The underlying pathomechanisms, however, are not well understood. Here, we studied the effects of
dust from pine (PD) and heat-treated pine (HPD) on the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory mediators
in rat alveolar macrophages. |
