Alveolar macrophage stimulation of lung fibroblast growth in asbestos-induced pulmonary fibrosis
…proliferation, and collagen deposition. To evaluate the potential involvement of alveolar macrophages in the subsequent fibrogenic reaction, the authors studied the effects of macrophages from normal and asbestos-treated rats upon lung fibroblast proliferation in vitro…

An assessment of the fibrogenic potential of very short 4T30 chrysotile by intratracheal instillation in rats
…structure, and surface charge, the lung tissue reaction differed considerably. Lungs of animals exposed to UICC chrysotile B showed significant pathological alterations as early as 7 days following treatment. The lesions were localized in and around…

Effect of asbestos on the metabolism of vasoactive substances in isolated perfused guinea pig lungs
…The tissue response consisted of both inflammatory reaction of terminal and respiratory bronchioles and diffuse alveolar septal infiltration with interstitial fibrosis. The reaction was characterized at six months by a progressive bronchiolitis obliterans with fibroblastic proliferation…

Rat lung reactivity to natural and man-made fibrous silicates following short-term exposure
…more significantly to attapulgite and Fiberfrax although the tissue reaction differed considerably for these two materials. While attapulgite, at doses up to 10 mg caused minimal reactions characterized by mononuclear cell infiltration mainly in the alveolar…

The lung biological activity of American attapulgite
…not an inert material for lung tissue; it does produce a macrophagic and neutrophilic alveolitis in the early inflammatory phase of lung reaction with peribronchiolar involvement in some sheep. Whether or not this initial attapulgite induced…

Contributions of experimental asbestosis in sheep to the understanding of asbestosis
…to 5 years. The authors described four tissue reactions to asbestos: no-retention, low-retention, high-retention and intermediate. They suggested that the intermediate reaction might explain non-progressive cases of minimal asbestosis. Exposure dose and…

Selective exposure and analysis of the sheep tracheal lobe as a model for toxicological studies of respirable particles
…at Day 1) and only macrophages after; lung histology documented an early macrophagic alveolitis which decreased to less than 10% of the initial inflammatory reaction at Day 60, without other distortion of the lung and airway…
