Article Synopsis
- The non-ciliated bronchiolar cell (NCBC) in the lungs defends against harmful substances and increases mucin and CC16 protein production in response to exposure to toxins.
- A study explored how male and female CD-1 mice reacted differently to inhaling vanadium (V) over four weeks, finding that both sexes experienced hyperplasia and NCBC sloughing but had varying levels of mucosecretory metaplasia.
- Results showed increased expression of CC16 in both genders, but male mice exhibited more severe changes, indicating significant differences in susceptibility to toxic inhalants based on sex.
Hematotoxicology has been studied with less interest than other fields associated with atmospheric pollution. There is limited knowledge about on the effects that certain atmospheric pollutants may provoke in the blood and bone marrow.
