Figure 5

Antioxidants can increase glutathione (GSH) and decrease hemeoxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression during DE enhanced influenza infection. A) Levels of GSH were quantified in PCA lung homogenates by HPLC and expressed as nmol of GSH per gram of lung tissue. Graph is representative of day 4 p.i. B) Levels of HO-1 mRNA were quantified in lung homogenates by real-time RT-PCR and normalized to levels of β-actin in mice exposed to air on day 4 p.i. (p < 0.05, n = 6).
