The Protective role of zinc in the toxic of coal dust upon mouse macrophages / Yu-rong Lai... [et al.]

Sumario: Death and disruption of pulmonary macrophages may play a part in the development of pneumoconiosis. The trace element zinc can affect the activities of many enzymes in the human body. Evidence has been presented to show that zinc and other elements have an important influence in the development of pneumoconiosis. Changes in morphology and cytochemistry of mouse macrophages after culturing were the basis for this study of protective effect of zinc upon the toxic action coal dust
