Figure 6

Day 4 comparison of mice. (A) lung glutathione levels and (B) ROS production in cells obtained by lung lavage in saline- or cytomix-treated mice, 24 h after exposure to air or DEP for 2 days (mean ± SEM; n = 4/group). Data are expressed as the mean nmol/g of lung tissue (± SEM) for GSH or GSSG. Significance ( p < 0.05) indicated by: * vs. DEP-cytomix. For ROS cell production, data are expressed as mean fold increase (± SEM) over saline + air-exposed mice. Significance ( p < 0.05) indicated by: * vs. air, cytomix, DEP; ** vs. cytomix + DEP.
