Chronic exposure of the RAW246.7 macrophage cell line to HO leads to increased catalase expression.

Altered cellular redox states have been associated with a variety of chronic diseases, especially those correlated with inflammation. One of the primary oxidants generated during the inflammatory response is hydrogen peroxide (HO). Macrophages in particular are thought to produce large amounts of HO, however they must somehow protect themselves from the potentially lethal concentrations they produce.
