Gasoline fume inhalation induces apoptosis, inflammation, and favors Th2 polarization in C57BL/6 mice by Nour-Eldine, Wared

“…At the end of the study period, toxic and molecular mechanisms underlying the inflammatory, oxidative, and apoptotic effects triggered by gasoline vapors, were examined in the lungs and liver of gasoline-exposed (GE) mice. Static gasoline exposure induced a significant increase (+21%) in lungs/body weight (BW) ratio in GE versus control (CON) mice along with a pulmonary inflammation attested by histological staining. …”
