Particle size-dependent decreases in heme oxygenase-1 after subchronic exposure in the lungs and heart. Animals were exposed subchronic to coarse (CP), fine (FP) and ultrafine particulate (UFP) or to filtered air as a control (FA) for 8 weeks (5 h/day, 4 days/week). Protein levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in arbitrary units (AU) in lungs a) and heart b). Scatter dot plot shows the value of the median. * indicates significant differences among groups (n = 4 per group, p < 0.05)
