Abstract excerpt
A strong role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been proposed in the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases. Hyperoxia (> 95% oxygen) generates ROS and extensive lung damage, and has been used as a model of oxidant injury. However, the precise mechanisms of hyperoxia-induced toxicity have not been completely clarified. This study was designed to identify hyperoxia susceptibility genes in C57BL/6J...
