## Abstract Studies were carried out to measure changes in the transmembrane potential of rat alveolar macrophages during exposure of the cells to zymosan particles or to the membrane perturbant, phorbolβ12βmyristateβ13βacetate (PMA), and to determine if changes in membrane potential are related to

## Abstract The cell volume, cell water, intracellular ionic concentrations, and transmembrane potential of rat alveolar macrophages were determined. The measurements were made on cells which had been separated from the medium by centrifugation through dibutyl phthalate in order to greatly reduce t
## Abstract Acrylonitrile (ACN) is a volatile, toxic liquid used as a monomer in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, styrene plastics, acrylic fiber, and adhesives. ACN is a potent neurotoxin. A role for free radical mediated lipid peroxidation in the toxicity of ACN has been suggested. We examine
In this work we have attempted to characterize the programmed cell death (apoptosis) in alveolar macrophages exposed to various concentrations of lead nitrate. It was found that after 3 h of exposure a significant increase in superoxide anion production was observed, i.e. the number of trypan blue -
