Exacerbated Airway Toxicity of Environmental Oxidant Ozone in Mice Deficient in Nrf2
Ozone (O3) is a strong oxidant in air pollution that has harmful effects on airways and exacerbates respiratory disorders. The transcription factor Nrf2 protects airways from oxidative stress through antioxidant response element-bearing defense gene induction. The present study was designed to deter...
