Notes: Sumario: To evaluate the long term effect of exposure to quartz, it is investigated in the present study the time dependence of the inflammatory and fibrotic responses in rats during one year using the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) tecnique. The intensity of the inflammatory and fibrotic reaction was estimated by measuring markers such as cell numbers, and albumin, hyaluronan, fibronectin, and phospholipid concentrations. It also attempted to relate the changes to the silica burden present in the lungsRelated records: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 11, November 1991 ; p. 776-782Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades pulmonares Enfermedades profesionales Vías respiratorias Polvo de cuarzo Polvo de sílice Experimentos Otros autores: Eklund, Anders
