Particulate matter in cigarette smoke alters iron homeostasis to produce a biological effect.
RATIONALE Lung injury after cigarette smoking is related to particle retention. Iron accumulates with the deposition of these particles. OBJECTIVES We tested the postulate that (1) injury after smoking correlates with exposure to the particulate fraction of cigarette smoke, (2) these particles alter iron homeostasis, triggering metal accumulation, and (3) this alteration in iron homeostasis a...
متن کاملSequestration of mitochondrial iron by silica particle initiates a biological effect.
Inhalation of particulate matter has presented a challenge to human health for thousands of years. The underlying mechanism for biological effect following particle exposure is incompletely understood. We tested the postulate that particle sequestration of cell and mitochondrial iron is a pivotal event mediating oxidant generation and biological effect. In vitro exposure of human bronchial epit...
متن کاملPhenolic antioxidants in wood smoke.
Ten prominent dimethoxyphenols were determined in birchwood smoke from choked and open laboratory burning and in chimney smoke from a tiled stove. The structures of the methoxyphenols are similar to those of the well-known tocopherol and ubiquinol antioxidants. The 2,6-dimethoxyphenols characterising hardwood smoke are stronger antioxidants than the corresponding 2-methoxyphenols present mainly...
متن کاملPrenatal Exposure to Wood Fuel Smoke and Low Birth Weight
BACKGROUND Maternal exposure to wood fuel smoke may lead to impaired fetal growth due to hypoxia and or oxidative stress from smoke constituents such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter. OBJECTIVES We studied the risk of low birth weight (LBW) and reduced mean birth weight in relation to reported use of wood for cooking during the prenatal period, compared with natural gas (NG). METHO...
متن کاملWood smoke COPD: a new description of a COPD phenotype?
We read with interest the article by CAMP et al. [1] published in the European Respiratory Journal. In this study, based on both qualitative and quantitative computed tomography (CT) scan measures, the authors established that women exposed to biomass smoke had less emphysema than women exposed to tobacco smoke with similar obstruction observed by spirometry [1]. In addition, they described the...
