Study of inflammatory responses to crocidolite and basalt wool in the rat lung

…dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were determined in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Both types of fibers induced a prolonged inflammatory reaction in the lung. All the parameters studied in the experimental groups were more markedly elevated after 3…

Potential toxicity of nonregulated asbestiform minerals: balangeroite from the western Alps. Part 3: Depletion of antioxidant defenses

…crocidolite incubation. This effect was not related to any increased content of oxidized glutathione, or to any enhanced efflux of glutathione, suggesting that balangeroite fibers, like crocidolite, might favor the reaction of GSH with other molecules.

In vitro cleavage by asbestos fibers of the fifth component of human complement through free-radical generation and kallikrein activation

…role in inflammatory reactions characteristic of asbestosis through mechanisms involving iron ions, hydroxyl radicals, and oxidized C5-ike fragments. The ferrous ions present at the asbestos fiber surface trigger this activation and catalyze, via Fenton reaction…
