Oleic Acid Induces Lung Injury in Mice through Activation of the ERK Pathway

Oleic Acid Induces Lung Injury in Mice through Activation of the ERK Pathway

Oleic acid (OA) can induce acute lung injury in experimental models. In the present work, we used intratracheal OA injection to show augmented oedema formation, cell migration and activation, lipid mediator, and cytokine productions in the bronchoalveolar fluids of Swiss Webster mice. We also demons...
