چکیده
RATIONALE Most models of acute lung injury in mice have yet to be fully characterized. OBJECTIVES To directly compare and contrast endotoxin and oleic acid models of acute lung injury in mice in terms of their physiologic, biochemical, histopathologic, and imaging manifestations. METHODS Survival studies, lung weights, x-ray computed tomographic scanning, light and electron microscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, lung uptake of ((18)F)fluorodeoxyglucose, tissue myeloperoxidase, arterial blood gases, mean arterial pressure, and lung tissue prostanoids were measured in separate groups of C57Bl/6 mice (normal animals, endotoxin only [20 microg/g], oleic acid only [0.15 microl/g], or endotoxin + oleic acid). RESULTS Endotoxin alone caused only mild pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation with little functional or structural damage to the alveolar architecture. In contrast, oleic acid caused severe alveolar damage with the development of alveolar edema of the increased-permeability type with associated abnormalities in gas exchange. When given together, endotoxin and oleic acid acted synergistically to increase pulmonary edema and to worsen gas exchange and hemodynamics, thereby increasing mortality. This synergism was significantly attenuated by the prior administration of the endotoxin antagonist E5564 (eritoran). CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of these studies, only mice exposed to oleic acid showed both structural and functional characteristics of acute lung injury. Nevertheless, endotoxin had potent synergistic physiologic effects that increased mortality. Overall, these models, which can be translated to genetically altered mice, are amenable to study with state-of-the-art imaging techniques, and with experimental interventions that can probe the underlying mechanisms of injury.

Background & objectives: Paraquat is a toxic herbicide that is widely used in many countries. Paraquat selectively accumulates in the lung tissue and leads to severe pulmonary injury through the oxidative and inflammatory processes. The plant Rosa canina L. has been used for long years as an herbal medicine throughout the world. Rosa canina L. is a member of Rosacea family and shows therapeut...
متن کاملAcute and Subacute Toxicity of Safranal, a Constituent of Saffron, in Mice and Rats
The acute and sub-acute toxicity of safranal were studied in rat and mice within 2 and 21 days after exposure, respectively. For subacute toxicity, changes in weight as well as biochemical, hematological and pathological parameters were studied. The intraperitoneal LD50 values of safranal were 1.48 mL/kg in male mice, 1.88 mL/kg in female mice and 1.50 mL/kg in male rats. Oral LD50 values were ...
