immune system
• 2-fold in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid under normal conditions
|
• in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid under hypoxic conditions
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit higher levels of hyperoxic lung injury with increased protein and cells (macrophage and epithelial cells) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and increased cell death in lung parenchyma compared with control mice
• 72 hours after oxidant exposure, mice exhibit persistent cellular accumulation and proteinaceous edema in alveolar spaces in the lungs unlike in control mice
|
cellular
• under hyperoxic conditions, lung parenchyma exhibits a 6-fold increase in cell death compared with control cells
