respiratory system
• doxycycline-treated mice develop centrilobular emphysema and in severe cases such mice exhibit total destruction of an entire lobe
• 90% of doxycycline-treated female mice develop emphysema
|
• doxycycline-treated female mice exhibit a shift in the inspiratory pressure volume curve to the left indicating an increase in respiratory system compliance compared with wild-type mice
|
cellular
• doxycycline-treated mice exhibit an increase in apoptosis in the peripheral airway epithelial cells adjacent to the emphysematous lesions
