Airway instillation into rats of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), the half molecule of sulfur mustard compound, results in acute lung injury, as measured by the leak of plasma albumin into the lung. Morphologically, early changes in the lung include alveolar hemorrhage and fibrin deposition and t
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 -
