Reaction of rat lungs to inhaled chrysotile asbestos following acute and subchronic exposures
In this animal experiment, Fischer 344 rats breathed chrysotile asbestos from Quebec in inhalation chambers at an average respirable mass of 9.06 plus or minus 1.83 mg/m3. Male rats were exposed for 1 hour, 7 hours, or 7 hours a day for 5 days. Four…

Pulmonary reaction to long and short asbestos fibers is independent of fibroblast growth factor production by alveolar macrophages
This rat study asked whether alveolar macrophage secretions (scavenger cells in the lung's air spaces) explain why long, but not short, crocidolite fibers cause lung fibrosis. UICC crocidolite was separated into long fibers (mean 24.4 microns) and…
