Lung glutathione adaptive responses to cigarette smoke exposure
BACKGROUND Smoking tobacco is a leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but although the majority of COPD cases can be directly related to smoking, only a quarter of smokers actually develop the disease. A potential reason for the disparity between smoking and COPD may involve an individual's ability to mount a protective adaptive response to cigarette smoke (CS). Glutath...
متن کاملCigarette smoke exposure causes constriction of rat lung.
Cigarette smoke is known to cause acute increases in airway resistance, but the mechanisms behind this effect are unknown. Lung explants were utilized to examine the constrictive effects of acute cigarette smoke exposure on bronchioles from rats in vitro that had or had not been previously exposed to cigarette smoke in vivo. It was found that smoke induced a small but consistent degree of contr...
متن کاملMycoplasma pneumoniae infection and environmental tobacco smoke inhibit lung glutathione adaptive responses and increase oxidative stress.
Chronic cigarette smoking evokes a lung glutathione (GSH) adaptive response that results in elevated GSH levels in the lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF). Currently, little is known about how the lung regulates or maintains steady-state levels of ELF GSH. Pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae can exacerbate airway inflammation and oxidative stress. The present study examined whether M. pneumo...
متن کاملAssessing the Effect of Simultaneous Exposure to Noise and Cigarette Smoke on Workers’ Blood Pressure
Introduction: Noise, as the most common pollutant in the industrial environment, can lead to hearing loss and negatively affect other organs such as the cardiovascular system. Cigarette smoking is a popular habit among some workers, and can also have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simultaneous exposure to noise and cigarette smoke o...
متن کاملDifferent lung responses to cigarette smoke in two strains of mice sensitive to oxidants.
The development of cigarette smoke-induced pulmonary changes in C57 Bl/6J and DBA/2 mice was investigated. Both strains are sensitive to oxidants and C57Bl/6J mice are moderately deficient in serum alpha1-proteinase inhibitor. Following chronic exposure to cigarette smoke, patchy emphysema was present in mice of both strains, but developed faster in DBA/2 mice. A positive reaction for mouse neu...
