(A) H2O2 generation in the rat lung. H2O2levels were analysed spectrophotometrically in the BALF obtained from rats exposed to non-coated DQ12 or DQ12 coated with AL or PVNO (7 days after i.t. instillation). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5). *p < 0.01 vs. PBS (ANOVA, Tukey). (B) Correlation between H2O2 levels and total number of neutrophils in the BAL 7 days after i.t. instillation of 2 mg non-coated DQ12 or DQ12 coated with AL or PVNO.
