Effects of antioxidant enzyme polymorphisms on ozone-induced lung function changes.
Chronic exposure to ozone (O(3)) can cause changes in lung function that may reflect remodelling of small airways. It is likely that antioxidant enzyme function affects susceptibility to O(3). The aim of the present study was to determine whether polymorphisms in antioxidant enzyme (GSTM1, GSTP1 and NQO1) genes affect the risk of lung function changes related to chronic exposure to O(3). In tot...
متن کاملEffects of sirolimus on Lung function in patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Background: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a progressive lungs disease that affects women at reproductive years. Sirolimus inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its administration in past studies was hopeful in treatment of patients with LAM. The aim of this study was to evaluate sirolimus therapy on lung function in LAM patients. Methods: We conducted a trial to evaluate the ef...
متن کاملAntioxidant Enzyme Activities and Antioxidant Enzyme Gene Expression in Hyperoxia-induced Lung Injury in Premature Rat
Preterm infants exposed to high concentration oxygen are prone to develop hyperoxic lung damage, which is an importan t underly ing cause of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).1 Although the causative agent for BPD has not been conclusively identified, hyperoxia-induced lung injury i s bel ieved to be a major factor. Data from both cellu lar and whole animal models suggest that hyperoxic lung dam...
متن کاملDouble-blind intervention trial on modulation of ozone effects on pulmonary function by antioxidant supplements.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the acute effects of ozone on lung function could be modulated by antioxidant vitamin supplementation in a placebo-controlled study. Lung function was measured in Dutch bicyclists (n = 38) before and after each training session on a number of occasions (n = 380) during the summer of 1996. The vitamin group (n = 20) received 100 mg of vitamin E an...
متن کاملNociceptive mechanisms modulate ozone-induced human lung function decrements.
We have previously suggested that ozone (O3)-induced pain-related symptoms and inhibition of maximal inspiration are due to stimulation of airway C fibers (M. J. Hazucha, D. V. Bates, and P. A. Bromberg. J. Appl. Physiol. 67: 1535-1541, 1989). If this were so, pain suppression or inhibition by opioid-receptor agonists should partially or fully reverse O3-induced symptomatic and lung functional ...
